Team Projection: AL East

Yankees 97-65
Red Sox 96-66
Rays 89-73
Blue Jays 76-86
Orioles 74-88

The Yankees just absolutely dominated the offseason and it might just be enough to get them back into the position of being favorites. Of course to do this they will probably spend more money next year than the Rays and Red Sox combined. The Red Sox still have an excellent team, second in this division equals second best in baseball. Last year a prediction of 89 wins was a bold one for the Rays. This year, 89 wins and third place will be a bit of a disappointment. The Blue Jays, and even the Orioles, are not terrible teams.

The AL East is so tough that just playing half your games in this unbalanced schedule will knock a few games off your win total. And the AL is 5-10 games better than the NL. The Orioles and Jays are probably as good as projected 2nd and 3rd place teams Oakland and Minnesota, and any of those teams would be contenders in the National league.

If I ranked the teams in this division among all MLB teams, and everyone played the same schedule, here is the overall rank of the AL East teams:

1. Yankees
2. Red Sox
3. Rays
12. Blue Jays
15. Orioles

If the Orioles were in the NL West, I guarantee their fans (and projections) would have people saying they could compete in this division. Thankfully, they're not and the Giants are :-)

Ok, maybe I'm being too nice to their pitching.

Could you post the full ranking of teams (if they all played an even schedule) when you finish the series? It would be interesting to see just how much disparity there is between the divisions.

Good idea. I'll put that up at the end.

Yeah, it's great to see the O's making progress...all the way to last place. Chances are, if they were in the NL West, Angelos wouldn't have bothered bringing Andy in and they'd still be wallowing as a joke. Angelos knows how to destroy things. It's a special skill many attorneys possess.

I notice your projection for Koji Uehara is comprised entirely of relief appearances. Do you happen to have projections for him as a starter, seeing as everything I've seen indicates he's going to open the season as #2 in that rotation?

Yeah theres a couple of us coming from Hagerstown from my job.3 doing the marathon 1 person the half, so were representing in force! My boss and I are just using Frederick as a training run so we wont be setting the world on fire or anything, plus we just did the B Trail Marathon at the beginning of March.

All of the Shophound should skip the woman's, it all roughly is obvious, along with our own irregular exclusive correspondence with your ex-girlfriend in regards to the order can be a point out for individuals.

But we were most impressed by the blonde mass of curls she sported for her raunchy rendition of We Found Love.

Just an added tid bit for you.

Black or brown bags are ordinarily best, because you can wear them with anything from a business suit, to a t-shirt and jeans.

Diabetic snack foods including meal replacements bars, meal replacement beverages and chocolate candies may also use sorbitol to sweeten and improve their taste..

Of course I mention the other things, but in a more indirect way.

I won't disprove you on that but I will help you see beyond the affliction.

This is simply pretty open-handed of people like you giving easily precisely what a lot of folks could have offered for an e-book to make some profit for their own end, especially considering the fact that you could have tried it in the event you desired.
