Broken Angels
As the winningest team in league history (46-26, .639), there's not much more for the Broken Angels to accomplish. Except more winning, and specifically, winning in the playoffs, where they're the losingest team in league history (1-3, .250). This leads, of course, to the indisputable fact: No DCBA team with Paul Konerko has ever won the championship. Nevertheless, teams with Paul Konerko have always made the playoffs. So, the B.A. M.O. is consistent. Also signed up for a return trip with the Angels are Brad Penny, Aaron Rowand, Ubaldo Jiminez, Jose Valverde, and Chuck James. Is this the year that their theme song, "Don't Stop Believing," plays all the way through, or will it last right up until the playoffs, when the screen abruptly cuts to black?
Best Pick: Javier Vazquez
Worst Pick: Josh Fields
Steal: Kelly Johnson
All The Wrong Cubs
Having been denied a playoff entry by mere points in 2006, All The Wrong Cubs decided that playing for the wildcard slot wasn't anything to mess with, and promptly set out to claim the divisional crown. This year they tried yet another tack: auto-draft! How did that work out? Thus far, 6 of the draftees - a full 1/3 taken - have been reassigned to the free agent pool. Their mission? Hitch on to another team and bring them down. When man and machine combine forces, they're nearly unstoppable, and All The Wrong Cubs are geniuses.
Best Pick: Adrian Gonzalez
Worst Pick: See above
Steal: Gil Meche

I do believe by the end of the year the Broken Angels will ask the bloody and battered Manriques, "Who's Cryin' Now?"
Or halfway through the season I'll change the name of the team to the Broken Sox.
