I know right? Too bad they're all spread across the South.

Not sure if the Blue Jays are 15th, Im not arguing...because I think they will have at least 70 wins or better in the toughest division period. Put most of those other teams..any of them really in the AL East and you'll see how good your team is...theyre not. In general the AL is better than the NL and its hard to handicap the teams in the east..those other teams dont face the yankees and the red sox and blah blah blah all year long...I like the ratings

the ratings are kind of off in my book.. rays are overrated.. giants pitching is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than 13th..

Agree that the Giants overall pitching should be rated higher...but the bullpen is rather weak, no?

The Cardinals have two Aces (Carpenter, Wainwright), an MVP caliber hitter not named Pujols (Holliday) and the best hitter in the world (Pujols). Plus good young players in Molina, Rasmus and Schumaker. Not a deal breaker but jeeze, the NL Central Champions got shafted.

Completely agree. I think the Cards should easily be top 8, since it's essentially the same team that won 92 games last year. There is no way the Blue Jays or Braves did enough to be ranked higher than the Cards. It's not a big deal, just surprising to see a team favored to win the NL Central put in the bottom half of the rankings.

Well this is the team we've got, unless Damon signs with us that is and he's not going to bring a lot of power with him.

We just have to hope Glaus gets back to being the 35 homerun guy he was in the past and Heyward is a stud from day one. We have to hope McLouth is the player he was a couple of years ago. We have to hope Chipper stays healthy.

Like I said we have a lot of what if's, it stinks but it is what it is.

I don't get how the Giants are higher than St. Louis overall, in pitching, or hitting...
