This year in baseball the off-season brought about many changes. It seems like it was yesterday when the San Francisco Giants beat the Texas Rangers. A new season is upon us and hope springs eternal with the hopes of capturing a World Series title.
The Philadelphia Phillies are one of the front runners to win a title this year. They made one of the biggest off-season acquisitions by picking up ace pitcher Cliff Lee. Lee is one of the best pitchers in baseball and he single handedly led the Rangers to a World Series appearance. Now Lee joins one of the most potent rotations in baseball as he joins forces with Roy Halladay and some of the other great Philadelphia hurlers.
In the American League the Boston Red Sox had a very busy off-season. They stole outfielder Carl Crawford from the Angels, signing him as a free agent. Crawford brings speed and an added punch to the top of the lineup. The Sox were not done yet and went on to trade for first basemen Adrian Gonzalez. Now they have power and speed and they could be considered the top contender in the American League.
The baseball season is upon us so get ready to “Play Ball!” with MLB and Skybook!
