    I am too with the Cards being a very close second. The A's are just coming out blazing!!

    A's hands down. And that's not biased either.

    Cards or the Rays would be my second choice.

    The Marlins were my second choice, with the Cardinals a very close third, and the Astros in fourth.

    Royals, Orioles, Cards.

    Somehow, the A's don't ever surprise me anymore.

    Plus Seattle didn't impress me, and Texas was a pushover, and the Angels...well Escobar went down, so I can see a hole for them.

    Royals and O's are in ridiculous divisions, playing ridiculous baseball...gotta nod to them also.

    St. Louis...well I had them pegged for near the bottom.

    I'm going with Florida. However, I do think the Chicago Cubs should be on this list. I ALMOST voted for "other" with them in mind. However, you can't argue with 21-14 from Florida. Well...you can, but they make a great case.

    For Chicago, they have the top 2 vote-getters for ROY so far (according to a USA Today Sports Weekly poll) and they are off to a VERY impressive 20-15 start behind Soto and Fukudome. I see them sticking around for a long time.
