Hey everyone the final division preview is here and the next post is either my planned schedule for the 30 teams in 30 days preview. Which may feature Ryan Parker because I just messaged him a hour or so ago so let's just wait and see.So let's get started with the preview. 1.LA Angels Can the defending AL West champs take the tittle in 08' and hold of the surging Mariners, let's just wait and enjoy. One of the main reasons for the Angels success in 07' was the great staff they had with such guys like Weaver,Lackey and of course Kelvim Escobar.

So if all these guys play up to full potential then this could be a good staff. The lineup for this team is about equal to the angles but maybe a little better. Well they have the great force of Ichiro who can run circles around half of the players in the league. They also have one of what I think a top 10 catcher in the majors in Kenji Johjima who was on my fantasy team last year and they also have a great young player in Adam Jones. 3. Texas Rangers One of the teams that should go out of the cellar has to be the Rangers, The...
