John Lackey will likely be joining teammates Ervin Santana and Kelvim Escobar on the sidelines, or on the DL, until about May. I didn't like the Angels this year before I knew Ervin and John (let's use first names) were going to miss some time, I certainly don't like them now.
Oakland doesn't have a good rotation to begin with but for April and May they may have a better one than the Angels. If they can start with an early lead, and if their young guns get better (Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill) I say they win the division. I've said this before, but I mean it more when you 1st, 2nd, and 3rd starters will miss the first month and a half.
