Please. They have two decent starting pitchers, and one of them is hurt half the time!

no.

They have one great starter, Ben Sheets, and two above average guys Doug Davis and Capuano (who's only 26).

Ben Sheets sucked in 05 too.

At what, hitting?

look at his K/9 and ERA...not to mention he was hurt for 7 weeks of the season

Um, there is by no definition of the word this is true. His K/9? 8.09 which would put him just outside of the top ten in the NL. ERA+? 127, which puts him in the top ten. BB/9? 1.43, better than *anyone* that qualified.

From what I have read, the Indians doctors are quite proud that they identified years ago that Thome was not worth the big $$ contract due to his health problems. I don't really see them getting him again; they know he is damaged goods.

Who woulda thought the #1 and #2 teams for the 2006 season are from the AL central. Apart from the Mets being so high, I think these rankings are pretty decent. Stros should probably have made that top 10 though. I do think Clemens has run his course, however.

And leave the Red Sox off of it? Are you KIDDING me!!!!

I mean, they've only lost Theo...and probably Manny....and probably Johnny Damon....and yeah so their pitching still sucks.

BUT THEY'RE THE RED SOX!

Yeah if they do end up losing Damon/Manny there's a chance they finish at the bottom of the east next year.
