Boston (78-54, AL East, fifth): Lee Smith (36 saves) could be the savior of the once non-existent Boston bullpen. The Sox have strong starters in Roger Clemens, Oil Can Boyd and Bruce Hurst. Also, new faces such as Mike Greenwell (.328, 19 HR, 89 RBI), Ellis Burks (20 HR) and Sam Horn (14 HR in 46 games) can turn Fenway into a funhouse this summer. Best player: Wade Boggs (.363, 24 HR...
Baltimore (67-95, AL East sixth): Hello, Papa Ripken, where's your pitching? The Birds had the worst ERA (5.01) in Oriole history. Last year, no O won more than 12 games. Mike Morgan won 12, but lost 17. Ripken's two sons, Cal (27 HR, 98 RBI) and Billy (.308), will bolster the Baltimore offense. And when will Eddie Murray (30 HR, 91 RBI) stop being so consistent? Best player: Larry Sheets (.316, 31 HR, 94 RBI in just 135 games...
California (75-87, AL West, tied for sixth): Johnny Ray is an Angel, so is Chili Davis (.250, 24 HR, 76 RBI) and Dan Petry (9-7). Mike Witt leads the Angel staff, but will reliever DeWayne Bulce hold the Cal pen? The Angels will need good years from Brian Downing (29 HR, 77 RBI) and Wally Joyner. Best player: Joyner (.285, 34 HR...
Chicago (77-85, AL West, fifth): Rick Horton (8-3) is Chicago's ace of the staff. Right. Hal Baines (.293, 20 HR, 93 RBI) and Ivan Calderon can't do everything. Best player: Calderon (.293, 28 HR...
Cleveland (61-101, AL East, seventh): Bill Caudill, Greg Harris and Bill Laskey--what a pitching trio. Joe Carter and Brook Jacoby (.300, 32 HR, 69 RBI) can both hit 70 homers and the Tribe would still drown in Lake Erie. Best player: Carter (.264, 32 HR...
