Best division

[12soriano2B]

If the a rod deal is complete, which division is the strongest in baseball?

[pacewon]

Even without A-Rod the AL East is the best

[penfold]

Let's see... Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Orioles, Devil Rays. Yup. That'll be the most competitive. One nasty rivalry, two significant upgrades, and a team managed by Lou Piniella.

Anaheim & Seattle will have the second most fun, IMHO, but we're going to be in for a real rocky ride.

The East is the best without A-Rod and IMO was the best last year.

[Babe Rules]

No doubt AL East.

AL East...

[NYYFAN]

I went with the AL West...

AL EAST...man, when a team that won 86 games a year ago and improved noticeably is all but guaranteed of a THIRD place finish, you know you've got a tough division.

[patrick.o]

This should be a poll about which division is second best, because the AL East is clearly tops.

[Dooley Womack]

A.L. East without any doubt. Most competitive would be NL Central

[pachyderm]

AL West is still the best. A's, Mariners, and Angels are great teams, Angels were the last AL team to win the World Series. Mariners are winnest team in the regular season in last four years followed by my OAKLAND A'S. Even though, the A's have exited the LDS in the last four years, this problem is something that the Devil Rays, Indians, Tigers, Expos, Brewers, Padres, Rockies, and even the Rangers wished they had. Tampa Bay Devil Rays are the weakest link of the AL East, which downgrades that division, which makes them the "easy win" club of the division. While in the AL West, the weakest clubs is the Texas Rangers, but with their Ballpark and the flaming hot weather give some advantage while playing any club in the Majors. Every division in Baseball have an "easy win" club or clubs except the AL West that is why it is the BEST.
