The American League East is where it’s at. It’s deeper in talent than any other division, and also the primary battleground for the Red Sox as they play their imbalanced schedule. Nearly half of their games are intra-divisional.
There are a lot of top players in the AL East. Here’s how the division’s talent stacks up in our preseason ratings:
First base
1. O’s, Chris Davis
2. SOX, Mitch Moreland
3. Rays, Logan Morrison
4. Blue Jays, Justin Smoak
5. Yankees, Greg Bird
Not a standout position this year, is it?
