    man the LA Angels might win over 100 games.

    that rotation is as solid as it gets and the line up is scary fuking good. loaded with young talent than Pujols, Morals and Hunter in the middle.

    do you see these guys averages this spring? Howie Kendrick (who finally broke out last year, could win the batting title this year hitting in the 2 hole in that line up) is hitting .400, Eybar is hitting .385 Pujols 393, Morales .423, Hunter .327 Vernon Wells .283, Trumbo .327 and Pourjos .298.

    that is staggering.

    I know its ST but still man. hope these guys aren't too over priced early on cause they are gonna be off to a hot start.

    Just bad news if they do. Teams that win the most games rarely win it all, it might even be less than the 1/8th chance they should have as implied odds since only 8 teams make the playoffs.

    I don't buy into that theory at all.

    AL is loaded this year. Angels and tigers should win over 100. Rays and rangers obvious talents. Then there's always the yanks and sox.

    If you are betting futures you are always better off looking for value..always better to take an over for a nice value sleeper than be on a hot fav with no room for error in my opinion.

    You are wrong. The "play-in" games are considered to be the playoffs.

    I think the Tigers are highly over rated. their line up is SICK. but the rotation has some real holes besides Verlander. Scherzer is a guy who is a dominate when is on ..would consider him a poor mans AJ Burnett...IMO Doug Fister could be a flash in the pan. his xERA was a lot higher than his era. and Porcellos arm could be shot with the amount of innings/stress pitches hes thrown in the big leagues at such a young age.

    Fister/Scherzer/Verlander is a very good top 3.

    i agree with you on the pitching staff being overrated. the only reason i say the tigers should win 100 is because their lineup and the AL central is atrocious

    I didn't think anyone actually took Spring Training numbers seriously. If that's the case the Toronto Blue Jays are a lock to win the World Series.
