2012 AL East V.S. 2012 NL East

[MistaNova]

A little question that's been buzzing in my mind for a while.
The AL East has been one of the best divisions in baseball (how can it not be with the Yankees & Red Sox rivalry?), but the NL East made a lot of moves this off-season to make their division equally interesting.
Which division do you think'll be the most interesting?

AL East:
*New York Yankees
The most storied sports franchise in sports history. Stocked up on pitching this year by trading Jesus Montero for Michael Pineda and getting Hiroki Kuroda, got rid of A.J. Burnett too. Batting lineup still pretty much the same except that Jorge Posada & Montero are gone and Raul Ibanez signed on as a DH.
*Boston Red Sox
Broke the curse of the bambino in 2004 and have been post season contenders ever since. Said to have the number 1 offence and line up in all of baseball (doubt it), but after Jacoby Ellsbury's surprising 2011 season and the possibility of Carl Crawford having a comeback year, who knows?
*Tampa Bay Rays
Creates pitching monsters on a yearly basis. Has one of the best pitching rotations with David Price (2007 No. 1 Draft Pick), Jeremy Hellickson (2011 AL Rookie Of The Year), Matt Moore (No. 1 prospect on MLB.com), James Shields, Wade Davis & Jeff Niemann. Only question is who's gonna drive in runs.
*Toronto Blue Jays
Despite having the 2010 & 2011 Home Run leader Jose Bautista the rest of the batting lineup is relatively weak and it's pitching staff is no better. Tough luck thanks to being in the AL East I guess.
*Baltimore Orioles
Argueably the underdog of the division. Finished last year with their 14th consecutive losing season.  Only player they have really going for them is Adam Jones.

NL East:
*Philadelphia Phillies
Acquired All Star Hunter Pence via trade last year and have the best rotation in the MLB with Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels & Vance Worley coming into his own. Although how they do without Ryan Howard for a part of the beginning of 2012 remains to be seen.
*Atlanta Braves
Although the team collapsed in September last season, they were post season contenders for most of the year and are likely to be so this year as well. Has solid young pitching staff (including 2011 NL Rookie Of The Year Craig Kimbrel) and should be better than last year if Jason Heyward returns to his 2010 self.
*Washington Nationals
On the verge of possibly having No. 1 draft pick Bryce Harper make his debut this year. Even if that doesn't happen with a rotation that has Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmerman, Gio Gonzalez & Edwin Jackson and a fairly good offence they'll probably get in the way of whoever's going for the wild card.
*Miami Marlins
Signed a bunch of angry & grumpy (but talented) players and find their roster stronger with an offence consisting of Hanley Ramirez, Jose Reyes, Mike Stanton, Omar Infante, Gaby Sanchez, Chris Coghlan and a pitching rotation with Carlos Zambrano, Mark Buehrle, Heath Bell, Ricky Nolasco & Josh Johnson (who's had a health issue since 2010).
*New York Mets
Undeniably the underdog of this division. Didn't make any big off-season moves due to financial reasons. With Carlos Beltran's move to San Fransisco last year and Johan Santana's health in question, the only superstar the team has is David Wright whom is also prone to injury and IMO is likely to play fewer games than Chipper Jones.

The Al East will be more interesting just because it's Yankees/Red Sox; the two best rosters in Baseball.

The NL East is interesting because the Marlins are cool. I wanna see Bryce. But as far as great baseball & division races, AL East.

It's the AL East and will continue to be for a long time.
