A.L. WEST

1. UPDATE: ADAM WAINWRIGHT ONE OF ST. LOUIS CARDINALS FRONT LINE PITCHERS OUT WITH TOMMY JOHN SURGERY.

Texas Rangers figure to be in the mix to the end.The loss of Cliff Lee obviously hurts the pitching staff,but strong lineup can pick some of slack.The rotation of C.J.Wilson,Colby Lewis, Brandon Webb(minor setback will not be pitching off mound for a few days) has to keep them in the game to get to Alexi Ogando and closer Neftali Feliz.Lineup is completely stacked with Josh Hamilton,new comer Adrian Beltre,Elvis Andrus,Ian Kinsler and others give the Rangers the best hitting lineup in baseball.Mike Napoli(via Toronto from Angels)gives them depth at catcher,1st base and D.H.Michael Young the D.H. should be just fine with Napoli fillimg in multiple rolls.Look for Texas to be on top in the end.

On the West Coast the Los Angeles Angels made big news this off season.Trading for Vernon Wells (And his huge contract) made headlines  throuhout baseball.Outfield of Vernon Wells with Tori Hunter(Wells to left Hunter to right)both replaced by center fielder Peter Bourjos will be among the best in baseball.Their pitching staff is good but questions remain.Will Scott Kazmir return to the pitcher of Tampa years.Dan Haren will be the key to this staff,without his success there is not much chance of Angels overtaking Texas.Good infield play will help,but bullpen needs to remain solid and that is a big question.Angels will make interesting,but we do not believe they can last.

In Oakland the A's signed free agent Hideki Matsui to be the D.H. Trade for outfielders David DeJesus and Josh Willingham to go along Coco Crisp to make this the best part of a weak team.The pitching staff led by Ben Sheets,Justin Duchscherer and Dallas Braden are not exactly the Phillies starters.Their bullpen will be tested early and often with this staff.Lack of infield defense will put bigger strain on starters and overworked bullpen.No offensive punch other than maybe D.H.gives them little chance to compete other than for last in division with Seatle.

For the Seatle Mariners Felix Hernandez and Jason Vargas head a staff that otherwise needs lots of help.Bullpen's bright spot David Aardsma probably won't be ready until mid May.Outfield of Ichiro,Bradley and guttierrez can be bright spot if Milton Bradley decides to play to his talent.Infield offense is non existing along with not very good defense means bullpen will be getting lots of work.Maybe some young pitching prospects will get their chance to perform and give Seatle fans something to look forward to.
