Major league baseball teams are much like the stock market. Some teams are up one week and then down the next. Others remain on a steady incline, and yet others on a steady decline. Since we're keeping a close eye on the AL West this season I thought it would be good to do a weekly stock report.
| Team | Record | Trending | Last 10 Games | Stock Advice |
| Oakland Athletics | 12-8 | Won 3 of last 4 | 6-4 | Hold - Justin Duchscherer is doing his part to keep the A's atop of the division with a 2-0 record and 1.82 ERA. |
| Los Angeles Angels | 11-10 | Won 3 of last 4 | 7-3 | Buy - Kendry Morales is hitting over .300 and leading the team back towards the top of the West with 6 home runs and 16 RBI. |
| Seattle Mariners | 9-11 | Lost 4 in a row | 5-5 | Hold - Cliff Lee is rehabbing in the minors and the M's sure could use another experienced arm in the rotation. |
| Texas Rangers | 8-11 | 2-2 over last 4 | 3-7 | Sell - Vladimir Guerrero is hitting an insane .371 with 13 RBI but struggles in the bullpen are costing the Rangers. |
