    The Angels were an 86-win team with a sub-par offense, now when you add Albert Pujols and another good arm in C.J. Wilson into the mix, they have to be considered one of the favorites to get to the World Series.

    However, I still don't think they have enough hitting around Pujols (perhaps except for Trumbo) to get that far.

    hell no ... the FA's this year are not worth what they signed for ... not even close ...

    the added wild card spot makes a diff tho ... i don't see the marlins beating the phils for the NL East ... the Angels are in the same division as the Rangers ... so, they are gonna be looking wild card too ...

    Now the big question is: Where does Fielder sign? The most recent report I saw said the marlins aren't going to try to sign him. That leaves Milwaukee, the Cubs, and Seattle as the biggest possibilities unless I'm forgetting someone. I have doubts about him signing with Seattle. I don't see them contending with Texas and the Angels anytime soon and that could sway him to pass on their offer. That leaves the Cubs and Brewers unless someone else jumps in the mix. The Cubs are supposed to be rebuilding but I wonder if they'll change their plans and try to capitalize on Pujols leaving St. Louis and try to get themselves into playoff contention by adding Fielder's big bat. It'll take more than just Fielder to pass the Cardinals, though, so I'd say it's 50/50 on them making a serious effort to sign him as opposed to just driving the price up in an effort to either drive the cost up for Milwaukee or open the door for another team to enter the mix and sign him.

    the AL West is the epitome of the "haves and have nots"

    nice for the angels and rangers to have two teams to beat up on (soon to be three)

    I don't think they've added the 2nd Wild Card for 2012 as yet. It's definitely going in by 2013 - but it's undecided for 12.

    I have seen many people saying Pujols will be wearing a Angels hat in Cooperstown. I don't know if I agree with that. Thoughts?

    haha, true. From what I have read from Cards fans though, that is one of the things that seems to be most upsetting to them.

    All depends. I think of Reggie White when I'm thinking of this - in Philly he's thought of as an Eagle, but I'd say country-wide he's seen as a Packer; about equal playing time with both teams. BTW, what team was he inducted into Canton with?
