just curious what the members here think. im looking for teams or players who had very little success last season or the young in-experienced team who will knock off all the big dogs like the 08 rays

not looking for something like "posey comes up for SF and hits 43 home runs"

I think TB has another great season.

The team that has a season like TB had last season will be SF. They really improved and I am hearing I-Rod is close to signing with them. Which means he would probably play first. I think they will do with Posey what TB did with Price and call him up in September, and use their Prospects to their advantage. They will be a wild card team and have a good chance to get to the World Series. I think with a rotation of Lincecum, Cain, Big-Unit, and Zito you can not do bad. Especially when their offense seems like they will give more run support

very well put. i agree SF will have a dominating pitching staff. lets just hope their offense can keep up with LA's.

i also think the rays will be good again

I think my top two are the Rangers and Royals. The Royals if their offense improves and the Rangers if their pitching can hold.

Looking at the pitching staff..

Johnson
Zito
Sanchez

out of curiosity, can cain keep up with other number 2's? dont follow SF to much

Cain has had 12 wins the last 2 seasons I think. And a 3.20 ERA. He just gets no run-support. This year I can see him going 16-8 with a 3.20 ERA

Jonathan Sanchez is X factor in the rotation. He's so underrated. He's had a great spring training and even better WBC. Look for him to have a breakout season.

oakland may have the best chance out of those teams in my opinion. they picked up alot of good offense, and have the pitching. not to mention their division may be weaker
