AL West

[Cactus Jack]

Astros/Rangers/M's are talked about as the favorites. Who you got? Discuss.

Hard not to like the Texas teams this year--even as an Angels fan.

I have Texas > Houston > Mariners > Angels > Athletics.

Don't know much about any of these ball clubs as of yet. But from what I have seen so far, there is absolutely hardly any pitching in this division outside of Oakland.

Always going to pick my Rangers...

But man, Dyson.

Do you think Bush will be a better closer?

If he gets the chance, I think he'll be fine. The problem now is this...

Who pitches the 8th in his place? Jeffress?
And who pitches the 7th in Jeffress' place?

I'm not kidding - the bullpen is a complete disaster right now. And when your three primary starters can't even get through 6 innings, a bullpen mess is the last thing you need.

And - there is this. The Rangers have played 4 series so far... three against teams with losing records (all AL West) and the Indians (currently 8-7). They're 5-10. 4 of those wins - they scored 8 runs. 6 of their losses... 2 or fewer.

There be problems down here...

I had to ask. I found Bush on a couple waiver wires where I'm a bit short on RP's, so I picked him up.

I'm telling you man, just hang on! May 1st is right around the corner and it will inevitably mark the beginning of your turnaround.

Of course, I hope I am horribly wrong because I'm sick of losing to you taint muffins.

Solid pickup - wish Banny would have went with him as the closer from the get go.

I've seen a few AL west games in the past week on MLB. It looks like to me that Houston has the best team, but don't tell jwise I said that. lol.

[laurayu3]

Rangers is the best.

[RaoulDuke79]

Nah they isn't, you is wrong, yo.
