AL East: The Yankees depend on so many more ifs than any other team I can think of -- the pitching, for example, is sick if (insert health here). It's possible, certainly. Ditto the Sox -- question marks abound, but they have depth the Yankees don't. I'm going Sox here, with Tampa as wild card, though I might change my mind on that in ten minutes.

AL Central: KC's looking good, but they're not sexy enough to pick yet. Minnesota has Liriano back, but still, meh. And don't get me started on Day-twah....Dontrelle in the minors! Shef cut! Gimme the White Sox (and Bartolo "Better White Than Red" Colon).

AL West: The Angels lost Teixeria and K-Rod, Lackey's hurt, Santana's hurt, Vladdy's getting old. I wanna say Texas, just to be contrary, but I'll take Beane and the A's and the new infusion of young arms.

NL East: Dear Philly -- enjoy your crown. Mets take the division.

NL Central: Cubs, though the Cards look good and Cincy (read: Cy Volquez) surprises everybody and takes the Wild Card.

NL West: This division is gonna be a lot of fun.Peavy and Young bounce back for the Pads, the Giants' rotation solidifies (Ran-dee! Ran-dee!), Webb and Haren cruise, but it's the Dodgers.
