Best Division in MLB?

[killgod]

Agreed, you have the potential 3 best teams in the majors in one division. And no i'm not counting the jays killgod.

eat my ass! haha



i feel bad for any fans of a team outside of the East division. you all suck.

[FirstTimer]

LMAO. What does World Series wins mean when they haven't won one for how many years? The NL East has the Phillies who are defending World Series Champs, I wasn't going to bring that in to my argument but I will now. I'll continue to say NL East with the AL East a close second.

The Red Sox have have two WS wins this decade.

Last 3 years...

AL East
1. 97 -- 96 -- 97
2. 95 -- 94 -- 87
3. 89 -- 83 -- 86
4. 86 -- 69 -- 70

NL East
1. 92 -- 89 -- 97
2. 89 -- 88 -- 85
3. 84 -- 84 -- 79
4. 72 -- 73 -- 78

AL East has been tougher over the past 3 seasons

NL East. The Mets, Marlins, Phillies, and Braves all are in contention for the Division title and that makes it tougher than any division even if the teams of the AL East are better, there is less competition in the AL East.

Also the NL East is tougher this season then in the last few seasons. This topic relates to the toughest division of This season and this season only.

AL East. The Rays, Red Sox, Yankees and Blue Jays are all in contention for the Division title and that makes it tougher than any division.....


very enticing argument you have there :fear:

[spidey12293]

AL East and NL East are best in there respective leagues. AL East has more talent but NL East did beat there best last year. NL East is 4 teams deep as well.

AL east is also 4 teams deep, and the blue jays had 86 wins last year. And the NL east is not 4 teams deep. if you want to include the braves because of their success so far this year then the O's would be included in the AL East making them 5 teams deep.

I'm just laughing at the fact that you feel the Blue Jays can even contend for the division title. A good start in the MLB means nothing. 9 out of 160 games shows nothing at all. The rosters of the Mets, Phillies, Marlins, and Braves are all easily better than that of Toronto's.

The Blue Jays could maybe compete in another division but not the AL East where the teams will be a good 10-20 games in front of them. The AL East is the Toughest Division but the NL East is the best division due to the number of teams that will be in the contention for the division title.

lul wut?

toughest division = best

the Jays had more wins last year than the Braves and Marlins in the tougher division

Trying to compare the Orioles and Braves is just complete and utter failure. Braves have solid veterans who have been there before as well as one of the deepest benches, if not the deepest, in the MLB. They fixed most of their pitching issues and have a solid roster. The 5-2 start including a series win over the defending champs wasn't a fluke. The Orioles on the other hand, they have no chance in the AL East.

Toughest to be the best team in the division is much different from the best division in general.

Also THIS season the Braves and Marlins both have a better squad than the Jays IN MY OPINION.

I dunno... the orioles have won all 3 series they've played this year. That hasn't been done since our last playoff season. I'm just gonna ride the probability train for now or at least until after the all star break when the wheels fall off.

I'm not trying to disrespect the Orioles either. ;)

No it's not. If the division is better overall, then by definition it would be tougher to be the best team in it because your direct divisional competition is stronger.

[The Messenger]

AL East is easily the toughest division. Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays = Maybe the 3 best teams in baseball. Add in Toronto who always has good pitching, and the Orioles who are young and upcoming, and that's a deadly division.

The fact that the NL East has more teams around the same skill level means nothing. The Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays would come in and take the NL East division with ease. The Orioles and Jays could contend in the NL East.

I'm really not comparing them because i agree that the braves are better, but if you are going to make the braves a legit contender after one week then the O's should be given the same chance. Especially after last year with the Rays.
