I can see them winning 88-90 games and finishing up in the division. Their only problem will be the Angels but it will be a good race. If Beltre picks his numbers back up, they will be fine and here is a rundown...
Well, your rotation goes like this...
1. Washburn who will improve over his 8 wins last year
2. Weaver who who 11 games and thats about all you
can expect from him
3. Felix Hernandez at 21 this season will continue to improve
and will probably win 15-16 games for you
4. Miguel Batista who I think was a pretty good pickup for you
and will win 12 games this year
5. Baek the Korean who looked good in a short amount of time
will be the 5th man and might win 10 gamesbut he wouldn't
surprise me if he won 15 he looked that good.
J.J. Putz is a top 3 closer in the game and will show why again. Any division hopes rest on him
your IF is pretty decent with Beltre and Sexson at the corners and I love the pickup of Vidro and he should come back with a pretty good year IF he can stay healthy...your catcher had a good year and is a top 5 in baseball at that position
in the OF you can never go wrong with Ichiro and Raul Ibanez is a great hitter that everybody seems to forget (90 rbi and 25 homers avg. the past 5 years) but the signing of Jose Guillen was questionable to me...

Not much improved. They will win games late like the tradition Mariners with JJ Putz. Unfortunately the starting pitching isnt there. However, this season is riding on R. Sexson and A. Beltre
who need to both play up to there campabilities and for Beltre his cotract!!!

Most of this division got better, while Seattle just stood pat for the most part. They have a long way to go. Sexton must be healthy for the whole year. And the bullpen must keep them close. They are probably a few games under this year.

Improved overall. Ichiro is amazing and will have another great year. The big question mark is how well will the starting pitching be. A good season from their starters could get them in the playoffs.

They will go 99-63 and make it to the World Series, they are due. Ichiro will have a phenomemal year.

They'll finish far behind LAA, Oakland, and Texas, but they should finish with a better record than last year's team did.

Ichiro is great but there are questions about your starting pitchers. Pitching wins Championships. You may win the West but I don't see you doing anything better.

That division is up for grabs. They have just as good of a shot as the other 3 teams in it.

they'll suck. have fun paying Weaver 8 mill to lose 10 games and win about 4.
