PEVA Shuffle Index

March 21, 2013 - This year, more than most in the recent past, it was one or two or three teams that really dominated the hot stove league. In fact, we likely are not going out on too big a limb to say that it was one, and a surprising one at that, which took the top spot by far. And, truth be told, if they don't win a division or a playoff series or even get to the World Series, it will be a disappointment. And that team is, to no one's surprise, the Toronto Blue Jays.

Top Five

1. Toronto Blue Jays - There wasn't just one move or two or three that makes this so special. It started out with that blockbuster trade with Miami that brought in Jose Reyes (not someone we like a lot, but he's still good), Josh Johnson, and Mark Buerhle, among others. It kept going with PED player Melky Cabrera and the signing that is taking a calculated risk that a lot of what he accomplished while on the juice will still be there when it's just orange juice in his morning breakfast routine. Add in the Cy Young Award winner from the National League, R.A. Dickey, and this team added a total of 64.857 PEVA points over the winter, at least on paper. Coupled with the downslide, or at least the expected one, of the vaunted Red Sox and Yankees, then you should have that division winner here. If they don't make the playoffs with these circumstances, it will be, not only a disappointment, but to most baseball experts, a shock.

2. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim - Seems like they are on this Top Five list every year, but they're a bit hit and miss on whether these signings add to the bottom line. With Josh Hamilton at the forefront of their signings this year, and added with the others from the past, we've got to think that this will be one season on the plus side of the ledger. Add that to the fact that you depleted your main rival, the Texas Rangers, with that one move at the same time, and you should have the NL West winner here, too.

3. Cincinnati Reds - Last year in the Number 3 spot you had the Miami Marlins. How did that work out for the Fish? Not very well. While it didn't seem as if the Reds were making the same type of off season acquisitions as the Florida crew, the additions of Shin-Shoo Choo to their lineup filled with mashers such as Joey Votto and Jay Bruce, plus a full year of Jonathan Broxton in the pen, will add to the already potent squad.

4. Kansas City Royals - They wanted to compete this year and they made a big move to get them toward that goal, not wanting to wait any longer for the good young players in their system to mature in dribs and drabs. So they made the Tampa Bay trade, receiving James Shields and Wade Davis. But they came at the cost of an uber prospect, Will Myers, that might hurt them down the line. However, for this off season, it was good enough to land them in the #3 spot on the PEVA Shuffle List. Only time will tell if it was worth it.

5. Cleveland Indians - Michael Bourn, speedy centerfielder, and Nick Swisher, consistent and patient hitter. Both should add to the luster of the lineup. Just wish they would have added more pitching. Hey, Kyle Lohse was still out there at the writing of this page; he'd sure look good in Ohio. Not sure if the addition of Brett Myers is going to be enough to do it without more help.

Bottom Five

26. New York Yankees - Most of the problems experts see in the Yankees is an aging squad that has been having injury upon injury to all kinds of players, whether they be old stars such as Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter, established stars such as Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira, or any number of others. But there were losses over the winter as well that won't help the Yankees contend. Nick Swisher has taken his potent bat and personality to Cleveland. Rafael Soriano is going to ply his ninth inning stuff in the nation's capital. Raul Ibanez has flown back to Seattle; not sure how many heroics he has left, but he did add them to the Yanks in 2012. Russell Martin decided that the Allegheny and Monongahela were better fits than the Hudson. The loss of Swisher is really gonna hurt, at least until Curtis and Mark come back, but it's really odd to see the Yankees in the bottom of the hot stove change rankings. Oh, austerity, what have you done to the Bronx?

27. Houston Astros - Geez, we didn't know they had anything of value to lose, but they still managed to shuffle PEVA points to other rosters in minor losses, i.e. relief pitcher Wilton Lopez, plus the mid-year defections of Brett Myers, J.A. Happ, and Wandy Rodriguez, to name several. It won't matter in this first year of the American League habitat. They'd have finished in last place without any of them. Of course, now they might finish in last place in the Eastern League. Yes, we've downgraded them from the International League of the predicition page. But it would be interesting to see this squad compete in the Minor League level and see if they could win any one of those.

28. Tampa Bay Rays - It must be something in the water table of the state where good teams beget sold players, plus low attendance. Lately, the Rays have been doing things right, and we won't state this time that it will not happen again, particularly in a division so weakened by the woes of the traditional big two. After the Blue Jays, it wouldn't surprise anyone if Tampa Bay sneaked into second place and Wild Card contention, despite the trades of Shields and Davis and the free agent flight of B.J. Upton. And even if Will Myers doesn't make a big impact in the show this summer, it eventually will.

29. Miami Marlins - You really should have expected that this franchise would spend last year making certain that their off season changes would put them in the Top Five, have it backfire when they won few games with an odd collection of misfit free agents, then hold a fire sale. It's what they do. And despite the fact that the people who have run this franchise over the past decade or so seem a bit too schizophrenic to have success. They have won two World Series in their short history with just this type of mojo. This time, if it doesn't turn around fast, they've made their only remaining star mad in Giancarlo Stanton. So this season will be one of a year old stadium, a mad star, and very few wins. If they get to 65 victories, it will be a very good showing.

30. New York Mets - Well, you trade a Cy Young hurler in R.A. Dickey to the team at the top of the off season changes and you end up at the bottom of the list. Now, for the good news. The catcher they got in the trade, Travis D'Arnaud, might just end up being the next Buster Posey or Mike Piazza, which could go a long way to making Mets fans forget that they lost their best pitcher to a year that wasn't going to see them contend anyway.
