Boston, Tampa Bay and LAA are complete (with 2 of the 3 underachieving). NYY are mostly complete, but their SP is still not that great.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If the Yanks play to their potential, I would definitely add them to the list. Plus there are a bunch of mid-to-upper-tier level teams in the AL (Tigers, Sox, Twins, Toronto, Texas, etc) who are probably as good if not better than the upper echelon of the NL even at full strength.
