The mets still haven't landed Wagner (or any good closer). They still need a stronger non-cloer bullpen as well. But, if they get Wagner, if Pedro can have a good year, and they manage to pick up Manny, they definitely have a good shot. I also don't like the odds of 12:1 on Boston. They won 95 games with no pitching. And even though I am not a NYY fan, I find it amazing that both those teams could pull off that many wins and have no pitching worth mentioning (except for maybe Riverra). craig

By the way, to amend my earlier statement, I could certainly see the Angels as the best team in the AL, but I don't see why the Indians would not be considered one of the top two teams. Of course, all you'll hear about come March is New York and Boston.

But, they do have the most "superstars", so of course the media is going to discuss them more. I don't agree with that at all. ANA can somehow get Manny, they will have two of the best hitters on their team, a great defense, and a decent pen. Plus, they only have to beat out 3 other teams to make the playoffs. I just don't know if Manny would fit in with Sciossia (sp?). Francona seems to be much more easy going. Does anybody think that if they would have let Guillen play two years ago, Boston would have swept them. I just don't see something like that happening in Boston, but with Scosscia and Manny it could be pretty volatile. craig

Re: \'06 World Series Odds
"And what team is better than the Indians in the AL next year?"
The indians have 6 free agents- Their #1 starter, and their closer, and their set up man being three of them. I agree that they have a good shot since thier entire team is young and has the potential to improve- But seriously- a world series team with Casey blake in right field, and ben broussard at first? What i'm really not sold on thie team is its ability in pressure situations. Thier record in 1-run games was the opposite of the White Sox, and they have collapsed at the end of the year two seasons in a row.
