Simple objective question. Who will be the most exciting team to watch this year?
posted at 1/15/2013 3:46 PM EST
I'm kinding of leaning to the Nationals as my #1. Great young rooster.
Looking forward to watching the Big Boppers of the Angels and New Mix Blue Jays (Of all teams!) too this year. Dodgers, with the ex Sooox and big acquisitions they made, could be a good watch as well.
Red Sox, being such a new team, should be very interesting. Once we get used to them, however, not sure they'll have that "wow" thing going for them which some of the other teams seem to have. To me, Ellsbury, is Boston's exciting player. Hoping they can keep him.

if things fall right, and with the addition of Sori, it'll be interesting to see how the Nats do...

The Dodgers will be interesting to watch.

I don't know about most excitiing, but most interesting will be:
LA Dodgers: Can big money buy a championship?
Toronto Blue Jays: Similar to the Dodgers, but bit cheaper. Will the big moves make them instant contenders?
Washington Nationals: Will they regret shutting down Strasberg last season or will they be shown to be wise to ensure his future while remaining contenders? Can their pitching repeat at the high level from last season?
SF Giants: Can these unlikely champions find a way to do it again?

I don't have much interest in watching other teams' games. Just the Red Sox. They will be interesting to watch for a while, but once they fall out of contention they will be just playing out the string. Its going to be a long season for Sox fans.

The longer the better, pumpsie, win, lose or rained out. As long as they're playing, I'm good.

Red Sox baby! Although the Sea Dogs should be fun to watch too, especially early in the year before Bogaerts and Bradley get promoted to Pawtucket.

They will be in it until September, I have yet to see a respectable columnist or writer say they will be worse than 84 wins.

Soriano to the Nats? What is their payroll now?
How does Boras manage to do this over and over again?!? There was pretty much no market for this guy and he then manages to get 2 years, $28M (plus the draft pick and pick allocation money) from a team that already has a very solid bullpen. It just amazes me!

It's takes only two teams to create a bidding war. Perhaps the Tigers, Dodgers and/or Blue Jays were involved.

All in all, I would rather be watching a club that is winning most of their games and that has a shot at a ring, or at least the playoffs. I would be surprised if this is that club. I am sure I will be right there watching the games, just as I have done since the late 1950s-early 60s when they were a laughingstock. What I do NOT want to see is the likes of Lester glaring back at the umpire for perceived injustices with the strike zone, or Ortiz complaining about called strikes, or any more BeerGate episodes. If they are out there playing their tails off without whining they will be tolerable to watch.

No one seems to be paying much attention, but the Reds could be a real powerhouse next year...

Agreed, all in all
