I just had a hunch that Norman Rockwell had to do a rendition and sure enough!

And they get Pujols off the books next year too. Our division is going to be a nightmare.

Next Greg John's mailbag.

"Albert Pujols is a free agent the year we want to challenge, can you see us making a move for this highly coveted free agent?"

I don't think that means the Angels are going to have this big improvement anytime soon. Getting Felix off the books doesn't automatically turn the Mariners into an overnight success story and I can't really see anything about the Angel organization that's going to turn them around either unless their GM pulls a Gillick.

As for the Rangers, I don't see it with them either, they've got a couple good starting pitchers and that's really about it.

The A's will just keep doing what they're doing but some years it will result in success and some years it won't.

The Astros probably have another two to three years at the level they're at and then we'll see if they can maintain it.

Honestly :mrgreen: Comparing a team with Ohtani and Trout to us with the only similarity being a high priced player coming of the bill. :mrgreen:

Astros decline is already begun. 8-) And that exacerbated it tremendously by messing with Karma. They're toast.
