Shoot, forgot to put KC in. I'll go edit it.

I think it has been Arizona this far, the only one up there that I thought would win the division. They have the tools and are in an easy division. KC is a close second.

It's gotta be toronto, i expected them to do so well. But it's only April, so we'll see.

How 'bout the Yankees?

I'm not sure where you got the idea that they have great fielding. You obvioulsy haven't watched them more than 5 times. Hillenbrand is awful, tracy is ok, bautista is nothing special, barajas is ok, and gonzo has bcome a pretty bad Left fielder.flyingswoosh Wrote:They have decent hitting and pitching, great fielding, and a slightly less than average bullpen.

LOL, yeah, that's true. Although I think Robby Hammock (former Georgia Bulldog 
) could be their catcher for a long time.

Hillenbrand is awful, tracy is ok, bautista is nothing special, barajas is ok, and gonzo has bcome a pretty bad Left fielder.They have two great pitchers. They definitely have more than two great hitters. Their fielding is great from what I have seen. That was enough to win the NL West IMO.

If johnson is still a great pitcher, than ok i agree. But you need 1 or 2 more decent pitchers. And the d-backs don't have that.

How many d-backs games have you watched?Bautista has been awesome this year. Cintron will heat up soon. Hillenbrand is a great hitter. They have 5 hitters that I would consider very good or better. That is enough in the NL West.
