Los Angeles Angels
Out west, I think a few teams are poised to make runs over the next few seasons: the Angels in the AL West and the Diamondbacks in the NL West. Both have incredible quantities of young talent. Look at the Angels' young pitching that is in the major leagues right now:
Jered Weaver, Age 23
7-0, 2.20 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, .555 OPS allowed, 50 K 16 BB in 65.1 IP (MLB)
6-1, 2.10 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 93 K 10 BB in 77.0 IP (AAA)
Ervin Santana, Age 23
12-6, 4.14 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, .691 OPS allowed, 105 K 50 BB in 147.2 IP (MLB)
Joe Saunders, Age 25
3-0, 1.67 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, .670 OPS allowed, 18 K 10 BB in 27.0 IP (MLB)
10-4, 2.67 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 97 K 38 BB in 135.0 IP (AAA)
Not to mention John Lackey (age 27) who is having a career year.
