When it comes to the AL Central the favorite every year seems to be the Minnesota Twins. The Twins are consistently overlooked as a small market team but every year they are in the hunt for the division crown, and this year should be no different. The Twins with hopefully a healthy Justin Morneau and a great pitching staff will be back in the postseason this year behind MVP candidate Joe Mauer and Hall of Fame manager Rod Gardinhire. The Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox should be in the hunt for the wild card as well. Both teams making huge additions this off season should be back in the hunt for the division title. If the pieces come together for Chicago they could be on their way to 95 to 100 wins, and considered by many to be a World Series favorite. As for the bottom two teams in this division the Royals and Indians, this season will be yet another of rebuilding mode and trying to develop young talent for the future.
Projected Standings:
1. Minnesota
2. Chicago
3. Detroit
4. Kansas City
5. Cleveland
