MLB Off-Topic 2013

I agree and disagree on certain things with the AL West. I actually think that it's a three team race and my pick to win this division is still the Oakland Athletics. That team is dangerous with Cespedes and has a great pitching staff. The Angels remind me of the 90's Rangers: All bat, no cattle (or nothing in the bullpen at least). The Rangers have problems in the outfield and are going to be looking at a number of guys to find their past selves.

The West is going to be fun again, that's for sure. And with the Astros joining in on things I wouldn't be surprised to see two of the Angels, Athletics, and Rangers in the Wild Card.

I'm thinking when the dust settles out here the Angels nudge out the As by a couple games for the division. I think the Rangers finish 3rd maybe 7-10 games back from the second place team (be it the Anaheim California Angels of Los Angeles that play nowhere near LA or the "we want out of Oakland" As)

Just saw the E-60 special on former Rockies' prospect Ben Petrick. I had no clue he retired due to Parkisons. Pretty amazing story but must admit... Choked me up a bit.

After Jon Daniels' promotion to President of Baseball Ops, there are rumors that Nolan Ryan has been stripped of his baseball related duties and could leave the organization by the end of Spring Training. The owners, however, are denying the rumors. Ryan has gotten some criticism over the last few years for a few things, such as his handling of Chuck Greenberg and Josh Lewin, and also rumors that the signing of Roy Oswalt last year was a "Nolan signing". He was also against the signing of Yu Darvish. I'm happy it was Nolan Ryan leaving instead of Jon Daniels.

Chipper a DH for the ailing Yankees?
He says no thankyou, I didn't think they could get older
Maybe they should get ManRam from Taiwan

lol, Josh Reddick is now a guy who isn't on the Jays that I care about.




He's obsessed with this on twitter and in real life.
