I think the biggest dogfight will be the AL West between the Astros, Angels and Rangers, and possibly the A's if they can pull that stick out of their butt. I dunno about the moves Dipoto has made in Seattle, they seem more like payroll management than trying to build a winner, although the Zduriencik approach of overpaying for talent certainly failed but at least he tried, and they resulted in two good acquisitions in Cano and Seager and the signing of the YEAR in Cruz. We'll see but I've been bitterly disappointed in the M's up to this point (Dustin Ackley, anyone?). I'm gonna give Dipoto a chance but there's too much core talent in Seattle for another 90-plus loss season to wash here.
