Predicting MLB Part 1 AL East

                Okay so far we have talked about the Yankees and what can be done. But what about the rest of baseball? Like division winner prediction and other offseason moves. What I will now show you is my Predictions of how each team will do in baseball.

AL EAST

1. Tampa Bay Rays: I picked the Rays finishing first in the AL East because of their depth. They have they have one of the best infields in the AL East with Escobar, Zobrist, Longoria, and Loney. Also have the strong outfield and pitching, they have been one of the only teams in the AL East to keep their overall team strength this offseason. Not counting the Orioles and Blue Jays because of their major holes as well in the 2013 season.

2. New York Yankees: I am predicting that the Yankees just fall short of the Postseason in 2014 due to the major holes that still linger in the Yankee roster, like 2nd and 3rd Base. Also trouble with finishing games going into the 8th and 9th innings due to the lack of bullpen.

3. Boston Red Sox: Now I am not being biased by putting the Yankees ahead of the Red Sox. They also just have so much to do and to fix. For starters I think they have the worst outfield in the AL East. Sure they have Daniel Nava but they still don't know if Jackie Bradley Jr. will do well or if Shane Victorino can repeat his 2013 performance. Also their starting rotation is a little iffy, like Jake Peavy and John Lackey. They are decent but can they keep it up? David Ortiz is the biggest question mark in the Red Sox roster, sure he had a stellar performance in 2013 but he is 39 years old. How much can his body handle? I just don't think the Red Sox will have a repeat of the 2013 season.

4. Baltimore Orioles: The only problem with the Orioles is their major lack of pitching. Their best and only starter is Chris Tillman (not meaning to be negative) otherwise they have nothing. Their bullpen is decent but a little bit below average. It is held up by Daren O'Day and Tommy Hunter but it is still very weak. If they can get more pitching they would be a top division team.

5. Toronto Blue Jays: The main reason they are last is very similar to Baltimore. They have very weak pitching, R.A. Dickey is unpredictable when he is supposed to be an ace, and their bullpen is very weak as well. But they do have a couple stars on the team like Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion, and Jose Reyes. But they still have a long ways to go.
