Questions of the Week - AL Version
This will be a potential new series as there will be a question asked for each team in the American League. This is a parody of Michael Silver’s terrible NFL version of the same idea (except this is meant to be serious . . . I’m not certain that his was). An NL version should be coming shortly.
American League East
Baltimore Orioles - How do the Pirates feel about not signing Jeremy Guthrie now? And how do the Indians feel about letting him go?
Boston Red Sox - How much will Dice-K burn out before the end of October? Is the old Big Papi Back?
New York Yankees - Will Roger Clemens be a factor in the pennant race? How long will Ian Kennedy be able to keep this up?
Tampa Bay Devil Rays - Will Rocco Baldelli ever be healthy? Will Joe Maddon still be around when these young players finally develop?
Toronto Blue Jays - How bad will the Troy Glaus steroid accusations get? Is this the single biggest underperformer team of 2007?
American League Central
Chicago White Sox - Does Kenny Williams actually think that this team will be able to bounce back next season? Has Bobby Jenks been the best reliever in baseball recently?
Cleveland Indians - How cool is it to lose to a guy named Billy Buckner? How lethal will the Sabathia-Carmona combination be come October?
Kansas City Royals - What does it feel like to suck this much? (Wait. This is a Pirates’ blog.) How sad is it when the three highest batting averages belong to pitchers and the highest position player average belongs to Joey Gathright?
Minnesota Twins - What kind of a hole does Terry Ryan’s leaving put in their front office? Will the team buy Alexi Casilla a better cell phone?
American League West
Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim - Will Juan Rivera be valuable for the stretch run? How good is Vladimir Guerrero?
Oakland Athletics - Is the Billy Beane magic running out now that everyone knows his secrets? Is Bob Geren the right man to manage this team?
Seattle Mariners - After Horacio Ramirez was pulled from the rotation, is the Rafael Soriano for Ramirez trade one of the worst in franchise history? How is a guy named Putz so dominating?
Texas Rangers - Is Kevin Millwood stil overpaid at $9,336,000 this year? How does this team win any games with this bad of an outfield?
The NL version should be following shortly.
