SI's Alex Belth has the five best and worst moves of the offseason. The Nationals trading for Alfonso Soriano is identified as one of the worst...
Rob Neyer has the ChiSox as being unlikely to repeat, but then follows it up with this:

The Angels are certainly in the running, but nobody should be all that surprised if they finish third.
