(100) Don't Say "If" there are Injuries, say "WHEN" there are Injuries: Analyzing the AL West

Pesach says that every Major League Baseball season is like a Russian novel, with heroes, villains, storylines, twists, surprises, and the Karamazov brothers (or at least Joe Maddon); and one of the main plotlines will probably take place in the American League West. Will the Angels waste Mike Trout's 30s in the same way they did his 20s, or do they actually have a window open this season? Is Houston still the class of the division? Can the A's continue their annual overachieving ways, or will they fall back to earth? What is the difference between the mediocre Mariners and the middling D-Backs? Is the Rangers' pitching significantly better than their terrible position player core? Answers to all of these quandaries and more are at your fingertips, so press play, sit back, and relax.
