While I understand that spring training has barely got started I wanted to take a look at how I perceive the divisions all be broke down going into spring training and then as the season moves along we will examine each division to see how the breakdown is fairing. As you can tell in the breakdown below my guess is that most of the divisions will be very close. However, there are two divisions I want to pay very close attention to and that is the AL WEST and the NL WEST. These two divisions if they remain healthy could be the catalyst for who will go on to the World Series. The key to all of this is that these teams remain healthy because one injury to one key player could throw this breakdown into one big CROWFEST :P.
