Which "contender" has the most problems?

Question

I'm a Mets fan and I know their bullpen sucks, even though they pitched well today, but do they have the most problems of the contending teams or is their another team with more?

Contending teams include all the teams leading their division, the wild card, and the teams not far behind of those playoff spots

Answer 1

I would say Boston. Their rotation can't seem to stay healthy or consistent.

Answer 2

the white sox because they have no breathing room

Answer 3

the dodgers with all those injuries now we lost kent we really have an all star d.l. lineup

Answer 4

Nope the mets are in trouble, THE PHILLIES ARE COMING!!!!!!

Answer 5

you then saw the Biggest problem with a contender today . . . and it's called Ned Yost . . .  

Gagne, simply speaking is terrible, and he has been all year, and Yost, because everyone tells him Gagne is terrible, plays every chance he gets. .

We just got 10 new players up today, including two very capable lefthanders, and still Yost thinks he knows how to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

A most excellent game today . . . .Santanna is incredible at times . . .

Yost would pitch him nine innings every fourth day (sheets is done).

good luck buddy . . . . .any team that gets to beat the Cubs is a team i appreciate.

Answer 6

Well, one could argue that the Brewers have a problem now, with Sheets going down early. The Dodgers aren't even a .500 team, so on paper it's easy to say that they have the most problems... I would say that while the Red Sox are not the worst team, their issues are pretty striking. Beckett is out for who knows (and he's the playoff horse they need), Matsusaka is good for no more than 6 innings (and in the playoffs, you pay for being erratic), Drew is on the shelf (as he always seems to be, with a "mystery" injury), and they haven't been consistent anywhere in the lineup excluding Youkilis and Pedroia.

Plus, if you count it as a problem, if the season ended today, they'd have to go through the Angels AND the Rays to make it to the WS!! Too tough...

Answer 7

The Dodgers, I don't know if you call them a contender or not

Answer 8

Mets Bullpen is horrible.

The RedSox need to get up their stuff together soon before its too late : pitching and injuries
