The Anaheim Angels may finally be getting some competition in the AL West division that they have dominated for so long.
Certainly the Oakland A’s made a move in the right direction by signing pitcher Ben Sheets … as long as he’s over the elbow surgery that sidelined him all of last season.
Sheets joins a formidable rotation with two-time All Star Justin Duchscherer, Brett Anderson and Dallas Braden.
In addition, the A’s have added punch and pop with new center fielder Coco Crisp and third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff.
The Texas Rangers certainly have added power with the free agent signing of former Angel Vladimir Guerrero to an already potent offense.
Plus, with Nolan Ryan included in the team’s new ownership group, look for Rangers’ pitchers to take on some of the toughness Ryan displayed in his Hall of Fame career. No more babying pitchers; let’s see how far they can go in a game rather than how soon they can come out!
As for the Seattle Mariners, the likes of standout pitcher Cliff Lee and former Angel third baseman Chone Figgins will be a definite upgrade in 2010.
The Angels? Not only have they lost top players to division rivals; they also lost ace John Lackey to the Boston Red Sox.
When the Angels look back, they are going to find people are gaining on them this season.

It sure seems like the AL West has improved except for the Angels. This might be the year that Mike Scoscia and team stay home for the playoffs. As a Ranger fan we can always hope.
