1- No. Too many variables for that to be likely.
2- No. The White Sox have a lot of young talent in the Minors right now and they will likely be in their primes in 5 years.
3- They will have bought players to reload with like the Yankees, unless we get a Salary Cap soon.
4- No. Because Fancour will have to leave to make room for Beltran in Right Field and K-Rod will be gone because his arm will have blown out.
5- Yes, because I love the name Asdrubal.
6- Nope, he will be found out to have been using PEDs.
7- Yes and the whole Steroids/HGH/PEDs thing will still be pissing off fans majorly and people will vehemently boo A-Rod everywhere but in New York where people have no shame.
8- Nope. Bad owners. Maybe if Pittsberg Pirate fan Mark Cuban buys them.
9- No, they will be recognized as the current Black Sox for being central in the PED/Steroid Era. In 5 years all the names on that list will be out and more names besides ones on the list will be out and anywhere from 50-90% of the Yankees of the last 20 years will be outed as users. (The Red Sox will literally be the modern day Black Sox for similar reasons.)
10- Nope. The Red Sox and Yankees will still dominate the AL East and the other teams don't have a chance in 5 years.
11- Nope. They will still be stuck with a lot of old worthless players because of the crazy contracts Jim Hendry signed.

1. Yes five tool player.
2. Yes lots of young players
3. No not with that payroll and they still have a farm system.
4. Yes it's hard to move big money.
5. Maybe i don't know much about Cabrera.
6. Yes he's amazing.
7. Yes.
8. No. The Pirates are stuck. They are bad so they don't draw great attendance which means less money. They don't have the money to continually sign their top ten draft picks. They might have a good offense with McCutchen and Alvarez by then but not a contender.
9. No. No Rivera, no Jeter, aging A-rod, overrated Burnett and Sabathia.
10. Yes the Rangers might finally have a little pitching at some point with Nolan Ryan running things
11. Of course not. It's the Cubs.

1.No, McCutchen is having a great week, but i think he is an average outfielder at best.
2.No, the American League already has about ten teams better than them.
3.No, they will be contending for a while, because they are not afraid to spend money.
4.Yes, they all are signed for a long time, and besides who else would put up with then milking there injuries. Bc if you think about it beltran has been out for two months with a bruised bone, what other team would put up with that.
5.Yes, he is good, and has the talent.
6.Well if he is caught with any steriods or other band substances, possibly.
7.No, I think a-rod will slow down, because players usually stop hitting 40 + homers when they hit 36 years old.
8. Never gonna happen.
9. Probably they spend the most money, so they have a better shot than anyone.
10.The rangers are probably the most likely they got a real good chance.
11. Nope.

1-its possible he is a great talent but i dont know about top 3 maybe top 10 though
2-no they didnt get good farm players from the trades they have made.
3-nope no chance too much money
4-doubtful i think at least reyes will be gone by then and maybe beltran
5-nope Elvis Andrus though will be one of the top 3 SS's
6-he is amazing but id say probably the last decade or two but not three
7-sadly yes but it should have an asterisk by it i will still consider Hank Aaron the home run king though i disregard Bonds and A-rod
8-yes i actually think the pirates will EVENTUALY be good
9-nope, they have the best players but can never live up to the hype just like notre dame
10-i think that the Ray's Brewers's Ranger's or Rockie's will have one only one of those teams though
11-its possible they have a very good team.

1. No. Too many other candidates.
2. No. Management doesn't seem to be interested in trying.
3. Losing. The steroids will have worn off.
4. Broken up. The Mets can't be stupid enough to keep those underachievers together forever, can they?
5. No. Unless he goes to a big-market team. You didn't say "Will be be," you said "Will he be seen as."
6. Unless he's proven dirty, yes.
7. He'll have it, but no one will care because he cheated, too.
8. Only if the team is sold to an owner who gives a damn.
9. Still, yes.
10. The Brewers are the likeliest, especially now that the Selig family no longer runs them.
11. If they can't do it with Lou Piniella, it may be another 100 years.

2.Five years is a long time but i geuss technically yea they could be
3.Red Sox will not have sub .500 season for at least the next 10 years
4. In 5 years i can see Beltran Retiring
5.Asdrubals nothing special
6.Definatly
7.I'd Say closing in on but i think he retires with just over 730
8.Laughable
9.Five Years is a long time but they have the assets(Money,CC and Tex) to make it happen
10.I'd Say one or two of those could have one, Rays and Brewers being the best guesses, with Rockies and Rangers a tier behind
