If Daisuke Matsuzaki is all he's hyped up to be, I might have to go with the Red Sox.

Minnesota Twins.
1. Johan Santana. DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS, I MEAN COME ON...2 CY YOUNG'S IN THE PAST 3 SEASONS.
2. Boof Bonser. He was really good at the end of the year, he should continue to have strong outings.
3. Ramon Ortiz. Had a decent year with the Washington Nationals last year, should be effective in a American league environment.
4. And 5. Either Carlos Silva, Sidney Ponson, Matt Garza, or Scott Baker. If it's Silva and Ponson, not necessarily in that order, then forget about it, the bullpen won't see too much action, unless our hitters have an off day...anybody else in these 2 spots and the bullpen will get plenty of work.
Let's Go Twins.

The Detroit Tigers have the best starting rotation top to bottom. Their 4th and 5th starters are better than anyone else's. Yes, there may be teams with better ones and maybe twos, but nobody has better threes, fours, and fives than the Tigers. All 5 starters are capable of winning 15 or more games and I'll be surprised if fewer than 4 of them do. Plus they only have to pitch about 6 innings because of Detroit's bullpen. Do I sound like a homer or what?

Most people dont think of it but Ill say th San Deigo Padres.
1. Jake Peavy-Great young strikeout pitcher
2. Greg Maddux-One of the best, still has some left
3. Chris Young-Another great young strikeout pitcher
4. David Wells- Big questioin mark, but can be dominate if healthy
5.Clay Hensley-good young starter
And with Trevor Hoffman, not much teams score in the 9th inning
I would say the Twins, but with Liriano out, they aren't the best.

Angels by far have the best rotation:
John Lackey
Jered Weaver
Ervin Santana
Kelvim Escobar
Hector Carrasco UNTIL Cy Young winner
Bartolo Colon comes back
And then we have a STELLAR bullpen!

Good question...I like it.
I would have to say in no particular order:
Boston
LA Dodgers
Oakland A's
Detroit
Milwaukee...this rotation is very underrated and under the radar and may surprise some people.

I've got to go with the Yankees on that matter. Kei Igawa has not proven himself quite fully but he might have more potential than you think. We've got "The Moose" Mike Mussina, runner-up AL Cy Younger CM Wang, Andy Pettitte, a concrete winner, and Carl Pavano, no comment.
