Sox, angels and Rays were the best teams in the AL this year. I think the Rays were the best of those three.

The yankees were beat up all year but either way i dont think they win it. This was a team in transition and i said at midseason on here that making the playoffs would be gravy. I think the Yanks had a great season all things considered and i think Girardi did a nice job.

Yankees will definitely be back, probably next season. They are behind the curve on the young players, which is the developing trend in the AL East. Obviously, the Rays have everyone whipped on that front, but the Sox have stockpiled a lot of young talent.

I see this '08 season for the Yankees a lot like 2006 was for Boston. They had to fall back a little before they could move forward. They'll be back soon.
