1/16th of the way into the season, what are your thoughts on the ALWest?
Texas: The Rangers are rolling right now. Their rotation 1-5 is solid and their bullpen is very deep. I don't have to say anything about their lineup, because they are so stacked there.
Seattle: I don't know what to make of them at this point. We squashed the A's, as expected. And got taken to school by the Rangers, as expected.
Oakland: They're horrible. They've got Eric Sogard as a starter. 'nuff said.
LAA: Guys like Haren and Santana are struggling right now, but they'll turn it around. Pujols is going to break out soon and go on a HR barrage. The thing that I do worry about is their bullpen and their age. Their bullpen is horrible and Vernon Wells and Torrii Hunter have very little left. The problem with trading for Pujols is that they now have Trumbo sitting on the bench. When he plays third, he's a disaster.
