The poor Twins will drop like a "Led Zeppelin". You can't tell their number 2 starter from their number 5 starter. Add that with the fact they don't score a ton of runs and usually get out of the gate slow you have a team that's 3rd or 4th place at best.
What are the odds of them putting together another 21-1 run during the season without Liriano ? Not good.

I believe that of all six of these teams the Twins will have the hardest season next year follwed by Philadelphia and then New York. Liriano out for the entire 2007 season sucks BIG TIME. Johan Santana and him single handedly carried the team through a very good 2006 season. Their rotation will look like this.
1. Santana (Could repeat as Cy Young winner next year)
2. Boof Bonser (ever heard of him?)
3. Carlos Silva (had a terrible season last year)
4. Matt Garza (Rookie with less than 10 starts)
5. Glen Perkins (Qualty rookie without a start in his MLB career)
This doesn't sound that good. Yah Morneau and Mauer are good but not good enough to carry the team with Santana.
Even with Pedro out the Mets still have a couple of good young arms and a very good group of young hitters (Reyes, Wright, Beltran)
Philadelphia hasn't improved or gotten much worse. They still have a MVP caliber player in Ryan Howard. And they did get a good pickup in Freddy Garcia.
Detroit hasn't lost their core pitching staff (Verlander, Rogers, Bonderman, and Robertson) and (their core bats (Guillen, Pudge, Magglio, and Polanco)
San Diego added Maddux to a rotation with Chris Young, Jake Peavy, and Woody Williams.
Los Angeles added Luis Gonzalez and Juan Pierre (a desperately needed lead-off hitter) and Randy Wolf.

I have to deviate from your choices (sorry)
I feel that the Florida Marlins at 78-84 will have a difficult time getting to that record again. Reason being is the idiot managerial decision to fire Joe Girardi.
The Marlins were the 2006 biggest surprise

Detroit Tigers will fade badly. Last year was a fluke as was Chicago White Sox the yea before.
Chow!!

Detroit may have a hard time repeating, maybe the Mets without Pedro.

good choices there, but i think the blue jays will hurt, even with the big hurt. they cant get any pitching and lost a whole bunch too.... and they didnt even try to keep bengie molina who is a great player... vernon wells is a good, but they spent too much on him and could have got some great players in return... theres no way they could finish 87-75 again in 07 after these deals... there gonna need some work to stay in front of boston in the east
p.s.YANKEES WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE!!!
