#5 American League Butcher

Anaheim Beefpound

The Beefpound was the team of the West during there first five years, winning the American League for five straight seasons, going to the American League Championship game three times and even making it to the World Series once. The team has lost some of its confidence after losing the division crown with a huge leading after the All-Star break. This team will be fine once they get there swagger back and start winning against the American League elite teams.

The total percentage of wins for the Beefpound is .576 (653 victories and 481 losses). The most wins in a single season were 111 during season four. The most losses in a season were 81 during season six.

Beefpac is entering his eighth season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 653-481 record for a .576 winning percentage. Beefpac has really done a great job and is considered one of the best managers in the game. He has the fourth most victories of any manager and the second most playoff victories with 34. Beefpac has seen is team slip the last couple of years but the retooling of the team has started, so I think it’s only a matter of time before the Beefpound is at the top of the standings once again.

#6 Number One in the Crosshairs

Houston Hitmen

The Hitmen started out as one of the worst teams by losing over 100 games during season one; fortunately, they have gotten better every year since. During season six the Hitmen got all the pieces right and became the second American League team to win the World Series. The Hitmen followed that World Series season by breaking the record for most wins in a season last year with 118 wins and made it to the American Championship game for the second straight year. This team is expected to once again be in the discussion to win the World Series this season.

The total percentage of wins for the Hitmen is .531 (602 victories and 532 losses). The most wins in a single season were 118 during season seven. The most losses in a season were 103 during season one.

Szekrenyi is entering his fifth season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 401-247 record for a .619 winning percentage. Szekrenyi has taken one of the worst teams in the league and turned it into one of the top teams in the league in a very short time. The team seems to be getting better every year, even with one of the lowest payrolls in the league. Szekrenyi could be looking at another championship run very soon.
