Best MLB Teams of 2013
It is ridiculous that the team with the most wins as of 9/25 is not currently on the list, but the Yankees are!
They just won the championship! The Red Sox are always doing their best, and they will continue to keep it up!
The Red Sox won the 2013 MLB championship. Congratulations to them.
The Yankees are the best! A-Rod is the best.
Respect from Greece!
The Yankees are the best and will stay the best!
Take that, suckers!
The Giants are awesome! Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain - it gets better and better. Buster Posey, Pablo Sandoval better jack about 78 homers this year.
The big key will be the starting rotation doing what they are capable of and Victor Martinez hitting close to what he did in 2011 with clutch hits, over and over. Torii Hunter having a good year should seal going to the World Series. This time, they will win it all.
Best overall team in baseball. Great lineup. Best starting pitching in the majors. Solid bullpen and defense. Above-average manager.
Go Tigers!
I think they will make the playoffs, but winning the World Series? Maybe not. Twice in the last six years, they got blasted in the big game.
People say they are spending too much, but I love the win now attitude. Go Dodgers!
Hey, we didn't make it this year. That's just one year. We will be winning this season and the seasons after that.
Go Dodgers!
No team can beat the Dodgers right now, and I mean NO TEAM.
The Reds are a very well-balanced, young, up-and-coming team.
Correction: They are already there!
Seriously, I had to add a team that made the playoffs!
Now that the Reds have Drew Stubbs out of the way and Shin-Soo Choo in, it will make for a spectacular year.
They have the best 3-4-5 batting order in the game of baseball.
The starting rotation is also above average.
The Newcomers
This MLB team, part of the American League Central division, hails from Kansas City, Missouri. Known for their World Series titles, they play at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals' team colors include royal blue, gold, and white.
Gonna miss Hamilton's bat, but hopefully Murphy and Moreland can pick up the slack. The Angels may have the better hitters, but I believe the Rangers have the pitching to combat them.
Biggest offseason changes bring deep talent and excitement to this team for 2013. The hitting lineup is extraordinary and top-end. Pitching is now finally on par with the other top championship-caliber contenders.
Look at the team they put together, and they don't have the pressure of an impatient, obnoxious American fan base.
They have the talent. Let's see what they do when it really matters.
The Mets are the best team ever, with great players!
They should be ranked way higher. The teams you have above the Cards - at least some of them - are performing way worse than they are.
The Dodgers? They are struggling big time. The Yankees or Angels? No way they are better. They aren't even leading their divisions, and the Angels are so far below .500 that it may take an act of God for them to make the wild card.
Yes, I do agree the Cards are the team to beat. Even the Reds and Pirates are better than the teams listed above the Cards.
This team is unstoppable so far, and they only stand to get better over time. So far, their offense hasn't kicked in yet, and they have several pitchers out with injuries, yet they continue to win.
I think they're the team to beat in 2013.
They are doing great this year, and they have the second-best record in MLB.
They're not putting up big numbers. However, their pitching has been really good. Just ask the Tigers, Reds, Cards, Dodgers, and now it looks like the Angels. Their bullpen is insane. Grilli has 26 saves already, and their relievers are doing top-ten business.
Their defense and offense have been well above expectations, and management seems to have these guys believing. They remind me a lot of the Angels team that won their first World Series - a bunch of no-names. Good players who put their work boots on in the car and came in to do business.
Let's see how they look 30 days after the All-Star game. If they're still smokin' - look out, boys! We may have a Cinderella on our hands here!
With our new two-time World Series-winning manager and the signing of talent like Nick Swisher and Trevor Bauer, we could finally have a winning season.
GO TRIBE!
Made the playoffs after an amazing run to end the season. And Giambi's two-out, pinch-hit, walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th to keep the season alive? Riveting!
Go Twins! I've been to a game at age 4, and it was so fun! I've lived in MN for most of my life, so I should know what I'm talking about. Another good team is the White Sox, but go MN!
