    What Teams (other then your own) are you excited to watch this year?

    If you mention your own team prepare to be banned.

    I am excited to watch some NL West baseball this year. World Series Champs in San Francisco, Greinke in Los Angeles, Mrs. McCarthy in Arizona. Should be a fun year!

    Indians should be interesting, grabbing some good values in free agency and GOING FOR IT.

    I'm curious about the Brewers with the train wreck at 1B and seeing how the young SP's shake out.

    Astros & Marlins, because I have this weird thing where I like watching bad teams.

    And as always, i'll be watching the Padreds, who for whatever reason always end up as my go to west coast late night team.

        D'Backs are on my watch list f'sho.

        Even though Kevin Towers makes it difficult, any team that has Nitram Odarp and the McCarthys is cool with me

        Also, because I'm a sadist, I am looking forward to the watching the Fighting Bo Porters. Really, the entire AL West will be fascinating IMO. Rangers are facing a transition year, A's have a ton of depth and likable players, and the Angels are the big bad bully (presumably, on paper) but have a shaky staff that could make it all implode. Then you've got the poor M's/Stros just fighting to stay above water.

          Toronto and Tampa Bay. Wil Myers watch.

          Also it should be fun to watch a team with Gomes, Dempster, and Victorino. If the Red Sox can pull it together, they could be entertaining for sure. Fun personalities.

              I'd probably go with the AL West. Angels are must-see TV even with a fat , Rangers - like NAHSTE said - are in a transition year, A's are a hoot because of Moneyball, and the Astros will be interesting as Jeff Luhnow grooms them to win the World Series in 2018 (and they have Rick Ankiel - don't be bitter and groan me NAHSTE ). Don't really care much for the Mariners minus Felix, but once their young kids come up, they'll be exciting to watch.

              I also think the Indians have become one of the more intriguing teams coming into this season after being deathly boring last year, and the Royals could be interesting since they're putting all their chips in to win now.

                I'm going to be interesting to see if Toronto can actually make some noise in the AL East following all of their moves. I'm hoping they don't suffer the same fate the Marlins did last year

                      Royals b/c they are only an hour away. I'll usually turn their games on when the Sox games get over with. Hopefully they can really turn the corner this real and make a little noise. It'd be nice for the Royals fans around here to get to see a winner again.

                        AL West is always my guilty pleasure and it gets even better with the inclusion of the Astros.

                        I'll also be checking out the AL East a lot as for the first time in a while there are four legit contenders there.

                          Add the potential trainwreck that is the Yankees to my list.

                          Here is the breakdown from a very pessimistic Yankees fan from another board I frequent. FedEx will instantly recognize the poster:

                          C: No one
                          1B: The lumbering corpse of Mark Teixeira
                          2B: Cano
                          3B: Whatever Kevin Youkilis has left
                          SS: 39 year old pins in his ankle Derek Jeter who now has absolutely no room for error.
                          LF JUAN RIVERA. FUCKING JUAN RIVERA.
                          CF: Gardner
                          RF: Ichiro
                          DH: 13 games of Travis Hafner and then Christ only knows who when he gets hurt. Maybe Steve Pearce.

                              Angels, Royals and Blue Jays...especially Jays since they have quite a bit of former Mets on there...so it's part Mets canada...
