Right now they are only 5 games back but they aren't playing that well, do you think they will win their division?

I think that they've got a very good chance to win their division, if they manage to fill in some holes by the trading deadline. Kendry Morales is progressing nicely at first base, and if McPherson and Kotchman manage to come off the DL, they'll have two of their young bats back. Darin Erstad being out really hurts the team, because they lose the intensity that he brings to the game. And the Angels really lost one of their big bats when Bengie Molina left as a free agent. For as good as Mathis and Jose Molina are defensively, they just can't match what Bengie managed to do year in and year out.
The most glaring weakness is in their starting rotation. Bartolo Colon is still struggling, and Jeff Weaver never managed to find a good rhythm. Hopefully, they won't just let Jeff leave without working out a deal for him. And every Angel fan knows about how good Jered Weaver is, but will he continue to have the same sort of success that he had in his first call-up?
To sum it all up, don't count the Angels out.

This years AL West is like last years NL west, struggling mightily. Although, I don't think the teams have been as pathetic as the National squad. In fact, I would venture a guess that an improved level of play will be in seen in the second half of the season.
As for who will win the division, I think it will come down to the last week of the season. Which is basically a repeat of whats happened the last few years. I see it as a toss up between Oakland and Anaheim, with the A's squeaking by for the crown.

They have a great chance to win there division Once there starters get back to playing every day and as weak as the AL west is now it is anyones race and Oakland and texas always fall off towards the end of the season and they did the riht thing send jeff weaver down to the minors for his bro so they will start to turn it around

of course they have a chances i bet that they will win the world series this season all they need to do is call up one or two great hitting prospects or sign a ok hitter who can help the offense the team i sgreat bringing up Jered makes the angels one of the best pitching team out there all they need is a great hitter or two or three guys to start doin good.

Yah I agree that the Angels suck. It's all about the Dodgers. What is this crap about the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?
The Dodgers were here first and they are here to stay. Angel fans you need to find your own city, this is LA not Anaheim so get lost.
