Bullpen-BJ Ryan is a stud. and there lineup is deadly. There hard hitting, power pitching is going to take them to the World Series. And believe me I am not biased I am an A's fan  |
To the world series????
Chacin has had one good season and did have more trouble near the end of the year when guys had seen him more. He could repeat the season but there is still a question there. Mcgown is completely unproven. Burnett has a .500 record and a history of injuries, so he is questionable. Their hitting is average at best.
The White Sox had everything go right for them last season. Their pitchers pitched above their abilities, they found a way to close games using a hodge podge of bad pitchers and young guys and they got timely hitting. If the Jays manage to get all these breaks I think they can make the play-offs but I think there are way too many better teams to think they are a threat to win the Series.
