As a Twins fan I am excited to see Lee in the National League. Personally I don't think the Rangers will make the playoffs this year even from the weak AL West. The A's are going to be better, the Angels will bounce back although they don't appear to have done a thing yet to improve their team and the wild card is either going to come from the East or Central. The Yankees are going to have a fight on their hands against the Central runner-up for the wild card spot. The White Sox look stronger as do the Tigers and the Twins are the Twins, they'll be in the mix. If the Blue Jays somehow pick up a little more bullpen help and were able to sign Greinke, the Yanks might be in serious trouble.
