Giants have a better 1 and 2 starting pitchers. Twins pitchers have more depth, better bullpen, play in a tougher division than the NL West, a better league and face the dh. Get over it. Plus none of us know what the difference outside of rank is. Twins can be an 82/100 grade while the Giants are an 81.79/100.

yeah i can see it both ways, maybe its cause the Twins have two ex Giants Nathan and Liriano lol. If Liriano is back then he is as good as the Cain or Lincecum. Bumgarner will be the key for the Giants and Liriano the key for the Twins. Twins bullpen is deeper than the Giants, pitching wise it really is close when you look at the staffs as a whole.

That is a pretty big IF with Liriano and no he is not as good as Cain or Timmy. Lincecum and Cain have been great the last 2 years and were pretty good in 2007. Liriano hasn't done anything of note since 2006 and flat out stunk last year.

While 10th overall is probably about right, the Rangers ratings by category don't make a whole lot of sense... 11th in defense, 23rd in pitching and 4th in hitting are probably what average Joe would blindly assign the Rangers based on stereotypes, but defense and pitching are their biggest strengths heading into the season. And if the Rangers lineup really had the talent for 4th best hitting squad in the league, they would've made the playoffs easy last year. Unless Vlad Guerrero is expected to change all of that, 4th probably isn't too realistic.

Tigers 24th? I guess they weigh a lot of the overrall on defense . . . the Tigers are definitely a top 15 team.

Tigers and Jays should switch spots, the Tigers have a top 10 pitching staff, if Damon signs then their offense will prob be top 10 too and their defense is bad but that shouldn't weigh too heavily on the overrall.

nvm they probly don't have Austin Jackson and Scott Sizemore added to the rosters yet, probly have Wilkin Ramirez and Ramon Santiago starting lol...with updated rosters they should be higher.
