Ok lets hear them. Gotta give a good couple of reasons to, not just because there gonna.
Mine - Red Sox
Why - Daisuke Matsuzaka as a starter would give as a five ace starting rotation, Schilling-Beckett-Papelbon-Wakefield-Matsuzaka
Also why will sign JD Drew which will give us a chance to trade manny and move crisp over to a position he can play
Idk i feel as of right now we are making all the right moves and are looking into the most serious talent

It's too early to be making any predictions except for whether we are gonna have snow or not. You are just ranting for your own team (not that there is anything wrong with that) but at least wait until the Winter Meetings are over with the trades that transpire from it and all the rest of the Free Agents have gone someplace.
JD Drew is Not a Centerfielder (he may think he is). He will be in Right, Coco Crisp is fine in Centerfield and Manny will be traded
to Philadelphia for Pat Burrell so he will be in Leftfield.

It's too early to say with any certainity.
Also, The Red Sox haven't signed Matsuzaka yet.
Until they do, it's still up in the air.
And why would they trade Manny?
Who protects Ortiz if he goes?
Looks like Boston has some gaps, even if they sign Matsuzaka.
The Cubs have made some serious moves, and if they sign Jason Schimdt and Ted Lilly, then look out!
The Giants have made some moves too, and they look poised to make a serious run at it.
You get forget The Mets. If they get Zito, they could be lights out.
St Louis looks poised to made another run at it, although i doubt they win it all....only because a team hasn't repeated since The Yankees did in 98-99-00. In the last 6 years they have been 6 different WS Champions.
The Tigers are looking good. They got Gary Sheffield, which will shore up thier offense. But their pitching will probably head south a little in 2007 (just ask the whinny sux).
Cleveland might made some more moves and get serious.
So, in essence, it is too early to say for sure.
Wait until after the winter meetings, and we'll see what moves are made there.
Ask me again on April 2nd, and I'll be happy to chirp in.
But if I were forced to put some money on any one team, it would be The Cubs.

You're correct. With D-Mat on their side, of course the Red Sox are going to the playoffs. But they are going as the Wild Card, since the Yankees are going to make it a perfect 10-in-a-row playoff AL East champions spot. The Red Sox will eventually enter the ALCS, but with the Yankees. The Yankees will win in 5 or 6 games, and the Red Sox and D-Mat will go home crying once again.

LA Angels over Mets
Angels- With the addition of Gary Matthews Jr, they add a great fielder and another big bat, beside Vlad. They have a quick, great fielding infielder in Chone Figgins. Their pitching staff is also good, with Weaver, Lackey, Escobar, and a healthy Colon they will be shuting opponents down.
Mets- Almost the same roster as last year, when they had a great team. I expect them to start off great, they have a great outfield led by Beltran. The also have great starters in Martinez, Glavine, and Perez. Billy Wagner, if he can stay healthy, will also come up HUGE this season.

How can people answer this question when teams aren't even fully together yet. Trades and contracts are still going on and winter meetings haven't even happend yet. Lets come back to this when spring training starts.

I think the Royals will be the AL candidate just because its the least expected.
For NL i say the Rockies... again because its least expected.
I can't go for my Twins because we have gaps on our team.
