I still think he/she deserved some credit for that one.

So here are the answers you have been eagerly awaiting. However, before looking make sure you have read the hints. No cheating!

1) Pirates, Reds, Nationals, Royals and Orioles. I hope you didn't put down the Rays. That part was a little tricky ... just a little.

2) Braves (Teixeira), Pirates (Nady and Bay), Reds (Dunn)

3) Nationals. This was really meant for the Padres, but they are only the third worst.

4) Rangers. This is why Ryan wants pitching.

5-8) I'm not going to list them all, but you can check out the standings to figure it out.

9) A's. That was a gimmee. Just imagine how good they'd be with them, but then again, when you're the worst offense in the AL, maybe it wouldn't matter too much.

10) Mariners. They have to be the most disappointing team in baseball.

11) Tigers. And their 1000 run offense only has 597 at this point.

12) Indians. Another gimmee. Cleveland might be the second most disappointing team.

13) Blue Jays. Ricciardi calls out Dunn but needs a power-hitting left fielder. Lately, he said Gaston will be back next season. The question is will he.

14) Yankees and Braves. Both are suffering from the complacency, late draft picks, and "parody" that comes with winning for so long.

15) Astros. Seriously, does anyone understand what the hell Wade was thinking?

16) Giants. Just imagine. Sabean trades away both Cain and Lincecum, and he gets easily eight really good prospects. That makes six more good players than they have now. Let them play okay for the next two years and trade them for 16 good prospects. Let them play for a couple years and ... Maybe they're finally good by, oooh, 2015.

17) Rockies. Hernandez really doesn't deserve the crap he gets because of how important he was to the '97 Marlins, his durability, and his consistency. Not many pitchers over the past 10-12 years accomplished what he did.
