Oakland (81-81, AL West, third): This is a scary team for a Western club. Dave Parker (26 HR, 97 RBI), Bob Welch (15-9) and Matt Young (5-8) just may be what the A's need to capture the title. Don't forget about Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco (31 HR) and Terry Steinbach (16 HR). Dave Stewart won 20 games last year. Best player: McGwire (.280, 49 HR...
Seattle (78-84, AL West, fourth): A lot of young players (Alvin Davis, Hal Reynolds) and some consistent pitching (Mark Langston) have turned the Mariners into a contender.

Texas (75-87, AL West, tied for sixth): Bobby Valentine has the young talent. Now he just has to corral it. Youngsters Jose Guzman (14-14) and Ed Correa (3-5) have the arms. Pete Incaviglia (27 HR, 80 RBI) has the power. Vets Larry Parrish (32 HR, 100 RBI) and Charlie Hough (18-13) still have some magic left in them. Best player: Ruben Sierra (.263, 30 HR...
...Henke, Mark Eichorn and Harvard's own Jeff Musselman) but with some inconsistent starting pitching (Mike Flanagan?). Can MVP George Bell adjust to the DH slot? Can an infield that can't produce any offense, except for SS Tony Fernandez (.322), finally wake up? Best player: Bell (.308, 47 HR...
Atlanta (69-92, NL West, fifth): No way. Dale Murphy and Dion James (.312, 10 HR, 61 HR) can't both pitch and still play the outfield. Best player: Murphy (.295, 44 HR...
