2008 New York Yankees

Well once again it looks like its going to be another dog fight between NY and BOSTON for the AL EAST.

lets take a look

as far as pitching goes i would have to say BOS has better starters but NY has some young guys that are doing very well and a soild closer.

as far as batting NY wins hands down. not to say BOS isn`t stong with the bat but no one can touch the Yankees on sluggers.

now we get to feilding............ NY is good when its good and fcuking WEAK when its not.
BOS is pretty steady but nothing crazy.

so there is no real front runner as far as i can see.

GO YANKEES!!!!!

If Cano carries his spring into the season and Hideki can adjust to his part time DH role the yanks lineup is going to be unreal.

Yankees win the Pennant and leave the Stadium in style with a world championship! Go Yanks baby

I don't follow sports, but since everyone around here likes the Red Sox, I route for the Yankees. Plus, people from Mass don't deserve drivers licenses.

If the kids in the yankees rotation are as solid as advertised, they will do very well. Also, injuries are shaking up the Sox pitching staff

The sox starting rotation is still very solid overall. The sox are fairly well balanced and that's the strength they play on. Both teams have young talent that will play a factor in the end. It will be a slugfest this year all over baseball.

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how the Jays get no respect in the AL east.

They have a damn good team

No doubt they have a good team. However, i just don't see them being that competetive with boston or new york for the AL east crown. Who knows though, key injuries can shake up everything in the AL east.

I honestly don't see how New York is even considered a contender in this division.
