The Rangers will finish in 2nd place in the AL West ahead of the Mariners. Compare the Rangers and Mariners depth charts on MLB.com..... I dare you.

Here are the edges

LF: Mariners
CF: Mariners
RF: Rangers
1B: Toss up leaning Rangers
2B: Rangers
SS: Rangers
3B: Rangers
C: Short Term: Toss Up, Long Term: Rangers
DH: Toss Up leaning Mariners

Ace: Mariners
Rest of rotation: Rangers, Washburn and Batista are as bound to be worse as Millwood and Padilla are to be better than last year.
Bullpen: Toss up.

Reasonable Goal for '08: Finish ahead of the M's.
They were lucky last year.
