Plenty actually. None of those serve as a rebuttal to what I just said. They're a hard sell being better than the 6th best team in the AL, let alone MLB. They're just in the right division.

Enjoy this moment, because when October roles around...you won't be so happy about it! Gotta love the Giants-Dodgers rivalry. I just wished MLB would set the Dodgers up for the Giant's first home series. Just so they could watch the ring ceremony and have to sit through all the hoopla.

Vegas prediction means nothing to me. Although not perfect, my top 15 would look like this

1. Giants
2. Tigers
3. Yankees
4. Nationals
5. Angels
6. Cardinals
7. Reds
8. A's
9. Rangers
10. Blue Jays
11. Rays
12. Braves
13. Dodgers
14. Phillies
15. White sox

I am a red sox fan and did not even list them. Based on 2012 regular season performance, 2012 post season and off season moves, this imo is the way it should look.

I agree on the division. Last years stats aren't representative of them with Martinez however.

You can put their lineup/pitching rotation against anyone in the league with (arguably) the best pitcher and hitter in the game. The Tigs are pretty easy to defend.

I understand, it's all opinion, but you said there is no reason for them to be that high, but I'm just saying there is plenty reason for them to be that high, as evident by what many other believe.

I just love reading all these comments. Everybody's favorite team is ranked too low while all the other teams are ranked too high. Incredible.

I have them 10th instead of 5th. Im not saying they suck...I'm just saying that they haven't done anything other than have a good off season. That doesn't always translate to wins. They still need to prove it on the field like the other teams have.

Hey man, in my case...it's true! No love whatsoever for the World Champs.

I feel like I just got married and my wife told me on our honeymoon that I was the 17th best she ever had in bed. But I thought I was the best!
