The Angels were one play away from perhaps a World Series trip, but they lost their Gold Glove top tier Catcher they haven't really added anything to their mix. If anything, they've taken a step backwards. They still have a dreadful Steve Finley and the artist formerly known as Garrett Anderson, who's another year older. I don't see what everyone likes about that team, they haven't done a thing to better themselves.
The Red Sox have improved, I think that's pretty clear provided everyone stays healthy. Their bullpen went through a complete overhaul and has improved more than any other team in baseball. Beckett was a great addition to the rotation. As far as the Centerfield situation, you can't have it both ways, you state Crisp is a nice player but nothing to get excited about. Then you turn around and knock Damon for having no arm? So basically, you are admitting the Red Sox have improved defensively since Crisp is an upgrade over Damon. Both Lowell and Gonzalez are defensive upgrades over Mueller and Renteria, respectively. Offensively, Loretta has potential to be the the best 2nd baseman in the AL, by far. I just don't see how anyone can actually believe the Red Sox haven't improved, they are kidding themselves.
Anyway, just my two cents. Goodluck this year...
You think the Blue Jays will make a jump to compete this year? They overpaid for Burnett but having him and Halladay at the top of the rotation should give them an opportunity atleast to stay competitive in the East.
