Angels 85-77
Athletics 84-78
Rangers 84-78
Mariners 83-79
Astros 67-95

Need laugh/cry emoticon for Astros.

At least they've got less than 100 losses!

I would probably go:

OAK
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
TEX
SEA
HOU

If the patchwork back of the rotation for Texas holds up at all, though, they'll be in contention to the end.

That projection says.....have no idea except the Astros in last.


I tend to agree...I think someone gets hot and wins big though...if I had to guess I'd go

OAK
LAA
TEX
SEA
HOU

Shows how one or two big moves now could really help a team. Santana would give about 2 win bump to a team. Morales could be up to about 1 depending on the team.

we'll see which division team the astros torture this year

If Angels get par production out of Pujols/Hamilton, they'll win the division.

If Darvish stays healthy and Harrison/Holland make significant contributions, Texas will win the division.

If neither of those things happen, Oakland wins the division.

Seattle still doesn't have the offense. Felix and Iwakuma will win most games they pitch, but the 3-4-5 in the rotation isn't good enough to carry that offense for 90+ games.

Astros projected to have the worst record in baseball for the fourth straight year

I agree. M's need another starer. Kuma will start season on DL along with Walker. That leaves Ramirez (young question mark), Paxton (rookie who's been up and down in AAA) and TBD to start the season.

Really they could use two starters now.

Look for Randy Wolf to be in the rotation.

Mariners need another big bat or another high-end starter (or two above average starters).

They really could have used Cruz.

1. HOU

2-5 IDGAF

Astros to the rest of the AL West:

My projections have to do with Win ranges.

Rangers 84-97
Athletics 87 to 94
Angels 82-95
Mariners 80-86
Astros 65 to 72

Oh sh*t I haven't seen that one.

I think the Astros pull off another 100 loss season.

I'll kiss an old lady's ass if Seattle wins 83 games

LAA won't do ****

Here's a crazy out on a limb prediction:

Angels will suck the first quarter of the season, get hot over the summer, but fall short of plsyoffs.

Rangers will go 162-0 and seduce Ian Kinsler on their way to a WS

#ReekforRodon

They already have the #1 pick to get Rodon. They will be reeking for the 4th #1 pick in a row.

FYI - Rodon is not off to a great start this year.

Tex finishes 8 games back of a California team and 3 out of the wildcard never really threatening to do anything but make some halfass move at the deadline.

The A's took a hit today...lost Jarrod Parker to a second TJ surgery
