With the signing of Carl Crawford and the trade for Adrian Gonzalez, the Redsox have become the?

Yes and no IF the Yankees add Cliff Lee to their roster they would be second favored weakening Texas as the Boston signings hurt Tampa. Soorry BO never saw your answer in time LOL.

I think they have a very good chance this year if they don't have half of their starting rotation injured again.

I see you are a Boston Red Sox fan. It would be hard to bet against them at this point. We will have to see if the New York Yankees are able to sign Cliff Lee or not, but either way, I would say the Red Sox are the favorites at the moment.

Certainly I'd say so and what is scary is that if Lackey/Beckett comes half way back to where they were, this could be a good team for a long time.

I disagree completely. My Texas Rangers will repeat as the American League Champs!

No. Most analysts would state those moves are not as big as what the Phillies have done in solidifying one of the best looking rotations in baseball. I am not saying that as a homer either, as I am an Atlanta Braves fan and hope the rotation does not pan out.

On paper though, it is bigger than what the Red Sox have done. Even the Northeast homers on ESPN would tell you so.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
