Rangers, Angels & Mariners in the AL West will be interesting. I like Ron Washington, but will be surprised if they win the division.
What are the chances the Yankees completely miss the playoffs? They lost some big bats. Could happen.
It will be a fun season.

Marv,

the Yankees are vulnerable this year. They are an injury to one of Jeter/Texeira/ARod away and a couple too many cheeseburgers from CC away from having a bad team. Add to that the facts that Burnett is unstable (and he and Posada do not get along) and that Petitte is a step away from retirement... and...

I like the Rangers. Nolan Ryan cleaned house. The Angels could be good but they have a lot of questions. They lost some key players and replaced them with lesser players. We'll see. It will be a fun season. I hope you get to some games over at Target Field.
