I am really enjoying the revamped Tampa Bay Rays. I had the pleasure of watching them in person the second game of the season in Baltimore to face the Orioles. I thought that they were a solid young ball team, however, I thought that they may have a tough time still searching for their identity and competing in the American Leaugue East. I was wrong. Currently they are 2 1/2 games in front of the Defending World Champion Boston Red Sox for the division lead. There are also rumors that they may acquire future Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. and C.C. Sabathia. If this does go through, there will be no doubt that this team will be able to compete with Red Sox and Yankees through September.
Another team I am looking closely at is the Detriot Tigers. They are my pre-season pick to win the World Series, and I am not changing it. They had a terrible start, but a team with this much talent has no choice but to turn things around. In third place and just around the .500 mark, the Tigers are a hot streak away from taking over in the American Leaugue Central.
