The AL, outside of 3 teams in the east, is pretty much the same.

I'm not trying to take away anything from what the organization has done in terms of damage control this season, because lord knows, the team has been a mess with all the injuries and career worst seasons. I give our people credit for doing their jobs once the season began. Now, what happened in the offseason is another story.
That said, I still think even the mediocre AL teams (Sox, Twins, Jays, Seattle) would be in the upper tier were they in the NL instead. The bottom feeders in the NL (Nats, Pirates, Padres) are on a different plane of awfulness that none of the shitty AL teams can match.
