LAST SEASONS RECORD:93-69
LAST YEARS PREDICTION:97-65 This team got better late last season and they will win this division and may have a ROY.
OUT: Charlie Murray , Orlando Espinosa , Juan Mendez , Julian Ramirez , Fernando Mieses , Juan Gonzalez
IN: Rafael Fernandez , Onan Suh
PREVIEW: The Athletics did win the Division but no ROY.But they did capture a co-MVP award in Homer Henry. In the post season, Jefepwnzer's boys lost in the first round . During the offseason he lost Murray, Espinosa, Mendez, Ramirez and Mieses to free agency. Jefepwnzer also released Gonzalez outright. With a couple of gaps to fill. He signed free agent Rafael "Red" Fernandez to a 5 year 78.5 million dollar contract with a 10 million bonus to boot. Finally he traded for future superstar Onan "yes" Suh. The Athletics now sport a great 4 man rotation to go with a stout offense. I commend Jefepwnzer for putting together a very good team. Oakland will be a force for awhile and may represent the AL in the Series. PREDICTION: 100-62

LAST SEASONS RECORD:83-79
LAST YEARS PREDICTION:85-77 Captain has a team full of winners and they will be tough to beat. Look for them to be in the wild card hunt at the end.
OUT: Fernando Urbina , Bill Torre , Kenny Kirk , Jay Peters , Cristian Stewart , Alex Hyers , Matthew Morton , Andrew DeShields
IN: None yet
PREVIEW: Captains Angels came close to my prediction and finished 4 games above .500. This team missed the playoffs for the second year in a row. They used to own this division and its clear they are in a reload mode. Lost to Free agency were Urbina, Torre, Kirk, Peters, Stewert, Hyers and Morton. Captain then released Andrew "Wind" DeShields to complete the exodus. Last year Captain signed a few one year contract wonders. And with 7 spots open on the M L roster. He will probably sign some before the season starts. With 28 million in cap space he could land some big ones?? With a incomplete team its impossable to predict. PREDICTION:????

LAST SEASONS RECORD:58-104
LAST YEARS PREDICTION:81-81 Like I said above ,this team has talent . And maybe this year they get it going. We should know by the all-star game.
OUT: Alex Cruz , Turk Wakeland , Henry Marte
IN: Matty Martin , Orlando Espinosa , Chico Duran , Paul Rose , Rafael Tejada
WYLIES PREVIEW: mad, here's my team preview....WE SUCK!!!
PREVIEW: Well we knew the Giants were not going anywhere by the Draft. Wylie was unloading players early and picking up nice prospects. Now with a bunch of youngsters waiting in the wings. He first let Cruz and Wakeland go to free agency and released Marte. He Claimed Martin off the Waver wire and signed free agents Espinosa and Duran. Finally he picked up Rose and Tejada in the R-5 draft. Mack Crosby was added last year and should help this team win a few games. Wylie still has a few good prospects in AAA ready for the Bigs. If they get promoted this team could be trouble for the rest of us. PREDICTION:81-81 could win more

LAST SEASONS RECORD:52-110
LAST YEARS PREDICTION:70-92 This team is a collection of AAA call-ups with last years vets. With 20 million in cap space they may trade for a big free agent or pick up some IFA's.
OUT: Jose Ontiveros , Albert Chavez , Geraldo Nieves , Steve Jarvis
IN: Octavio Lopez , Del Sanchez , Sid Steele , Carlos Ibanez , Glen Watkins , Brandon Hall
PREVIEW: The TAINT came in and ran this franchise for a season. it was clear that they were in a major rebuild. So i'm not suprised that they lost 110 games. Arte comes in with a difficult task at hand . My hope is that he guts it out and rebuilds the Dodgers and creates a Winner!! In the offseason he lost Ontiveras and Chavez to free agency but did resign Vinny Barnes , Eli Galarraga and Erik Coles. Then he released Nieves and Jarvis outright.To fill some gaps he signed free agents Lopez, Sanchez and Steele spending 11.8 million.Arte then promoted Ibanez , Watkins and picked up Hall in the R-5 draft. losing Ontiveras was a big blow to the Dodgers But they did pick up the 33 and 53 pick in the draft to go with their #1 overall pick. So it's obvious this team will have some juicy prospects to add to the ones still on the rookie roster(Curious). I'm sure Arte will promote them before the season starts.This team is in a long rebuild so they will get another good draft pick next year. PREDICTION:70-92 at the most
