The difference between the Cubs, Indians, and Rangers?

After seeing what really good teams look like for a few days, i see the difference between the Cubs, Indians, and Rangers. I think the Rangers can hold their own in the field. The Rangers maybe have an advantage or two in the field, arguable for sure. BUT, pitching, that's another story. Ranger pitching is not in the same vicinity of either WS club. And, at least for the Indians, they didn't even have their best guys. Stark difference in pitching staff's.

I'm starting to wonder if the Rangers, with all the one run wins, may really have been overly lucky this year. I guess we'll start finding out in April.

Go JD!

That Bryant kid for the Cubs is a different breed of cat.

Good pitching can dominate the best off hitting. Obviously, at some point if pitching is about equal on both teams, than the team with the better offense has a better chance of winning. Defense and speed separates teams even more when the pitching is even. I don't think any teams are close to either the Cubs or Indians as far as pitching is concerned.
