Aram and Peter dive into the AL West by putting their General Manager hats on. They start with the Houston Astros... could they make another significant move after signing Tatsuya Imai? Next up is the Angels, who can sneakily build a solid team with a few moves, and last but not least, the A's, who have a star-studded lineup but need a few tweaks before making a serious run.
