Not to sound like a prick because I do agree with you, but then im disappointed with the attribute's of the angels. Extremely under-rated, and im not saying that because I am a fan. Its plain obvious on who is coming back from injury and who we acquired in the offseason.

Rangers lose Lee & Harden (two allstars) and get an injured brandon webb and they are so high.

How exactly are the Giants over-rated? I don't have the game in front of me but I can guess their overalls and see why they would be considered "very good".

Starting 5:
Tim Lincecum A+
Matt Cain A
Jonathan Sanchez B+
Madison Bumgarner B
Barry Zito B

Bullpen:
Brian Wilson A+
Sergio Romo B
Dan Runzler B
Javier Lopez B-
Ramon Ramirez B-
Jeremy Affeldt C+
Santiago Casilla C

Position Players:
Buster Posey A-
Pablo Sandoval A-
Aubrey Huff B+
Andres Torres B
Freddy Sanchez B
Cody Ross B
Aaron Rowand B-
Pat Burrell B-
Mark DeRosa C+
Travis Ishikawa C+
Miguel Tejada C+
Eli Whiteside C-

I don't see a team with a lot "stand-outs" at the position player side of things, but rarely do you get a team that can field players in the B-range overall. You can disagree with me and think that because of the lack of A's and the presence of C's should lower them, but I guarantee other teams ranked around them have similar if not bigger holes.

*Overall takes the last three years, weighted.

There is no reason they should be ranked outside of the top 10.

Yay, there's complete bias against the Twins, that's why they don't have a Twin on the cover. Oh wait.

lol Harden didnt do anything last year. We also got Beltre who is much better defensively than young and a very good hitter.

Harden = Webb. Brandon Webb was a premier pitcher pitching in an extreme hitter's park for his career. He'll definitely be a B at worse.

Well played.

The Twins pitching staff is very sketchy. They have two number 2 starters and 3 back of the rotation guys, on most good teams. They lost 4 guys in the bullpen that they have to replace, and Nathan is 38 coming off Tommy John and is not a lock by any means to return to form at that age. I don't think their ranking is that out of line.

I'd take Webb over Harden and I think he will be much better then what Harden did last year.
