Our Mortal Enemies

I know there's not much going on in our world of things angelic, but I was curious what you all think about moves our competitors in the West have made? I've noticed the Rangers being aggresive about acquiring pitching (for once.) They couldn't avoid it forever. And of course the Bradley trade to Oakland. Is this something to cheer or fear?

You should fear...

Texas and Oakland

i think texas is still a few pitchers away from truely being competitive. there moves have been nice but it is difficult to pitch in the texas heat and if your starters are not lasting 6 to 8 innings a game then that heat will wear the bullpen down again like last year.

oakland scares me because they have a very good starting rotation with the addition of loaiza. the pitchers are young but now they are mostly in their second and third season. plus they have added some bats. i think bradley will be good for oakland this year. he had to have learned a lesson from last year which will probably get him through this year and then he will mouth off next year. i envision a tough top two teams in the west again with the angels and oakland battlin it out and texas and seattle making a wild card run for the second place team a real tough route.
