I would have voted for 2 additional franchises in Portland and another city west of the Mississippi and have 8 four team divisions. Anyways, the Astros moving will take some adjustments to the way that the team is going to be built. But I still contend that we can make leaps and bounds in the AL West, if the new management team of the Astros make the right moves.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471510250599641166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-38800968308616777952011-11-29T21:31:26.393-05:002011-11-29T21:31:26.393-05:00So now that we all agree to disagree, is that a pr...So now that we all agree to disagree, is that a problem? The way the Stros have been managed, they're going to be looking up from the bottom of any division. Or is it more not wanting to be in the AL?Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-36055298120864863052011-11-29T20:57:11.006-05:002011-11-29T20:57:11.006-05:00Let's see, you have the Angels that are starti...Let's see, you have the Angels that are starting to look like underachievers yearly. The Mariners aren't tough and the A's are the A's. The Rangers have went to the World Series two years in a row, so besides the Strangers, the AL West isn't as strong as the other two divisions in the AL.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471510250599641166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-62414842420400514182011-11-29T10:50:19.588-05:002011-11-29T10:50:19.588-05:00The Angels are a solid franchise that was supposed...The Angels are a solid franchise that was supposed to have contended last year and did for much of the season. They won't go too far or too long down. Two competitive teams is not a weak division in my opinion.Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-20769580555948084512011-11-29T09:51:20.617-05:002011-11-29T09:51:20.617-05:00Except for the Rangers, the AL West is weak.

So they've taken the right steps. It's just too bad it was so screwed up before it started to be fixed. And now you have a natural rival in the Rangers in the same division. Weak AL West?Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.com
