Do you still consider the AL east the strongest division?

from what you've seen so far this year? I mean, Red Sox are falling way short (even though they will pick it up im sure), the Yankees have no pitching, and the Rays lost almost every key player. Do you still think its the best division? If not, which is?

Update:

Why do people say they have no pitching? not sure, the stats speak for themselves

after CC you have:

Burnett: 4.67 ERA

Nova: 7.36 ERA

Colon: 3.97 ERA

Hughes: 13.94 ERA

^ya, wonderful pitching. And secondly, I wasn't referring to the bullpen. I was referring to starting pitching SO FAR. which is why i said "from what you've seen so far this year." So calm down, people.

    I would say its a tie between the AL East and NL West. Both have three decent teams who go out and take care of business every night.

    Yankees have no pitching? The Yankees have the best 7th, 8th and 9th inning pitchers in baseball and the Redsox are right there also. The Yankees have Sabathia, Burnett who is well above average even though he was horrible last year, Nova has looked decent and I think will be very good, Freddy Garcia shocked me at how good he looked today and Colon has learned how to pitch with less speed and he has done it every time out this year. The Yankees will probably win about 93 games, the Redsox will probably get close to 88 or 90 wins, Baltimore has a very good offence. What division is better?

    Yes it still is but i'm actually wondering is the AL or the NL better this year? O's are having a good year so far and Jays aren't bad either just wait till Sox picks it up. Yankees they're still good

    The power in baseball has shifted to the NL West.

    Giants, Dodgers & Rockies lead the way.
