AL Central

Ahh, the long awaited preview of the American League Central division. This is a division which has been dominated by the Minnesota Twins in recent years, and after signing ace Johan Santana, the Twins look for a fourth straight division title under manager Ron Gardenhire. Why shouldn't they, that's all he's given them. However, the Tigers, Indians, and White Sox all have a chance at the division as well. I'm not even going to give Kansas City a punchers chance because, they don't have one.

A few questions heading into the season for the division; will the Royals lose more games than last year, can the Twins use the same formula of playing hard, good defense, and one shut-down pitcher to another division championship, will the White Sox have the Contreras the Yankees thought they were getting, or the one they got, are the Tigers going to allow few enough runs in games to lean heavily on their stacked bullpen, and did the young Indians learn enough last year to finally move from rebuilding to contention? All of these questions will be answered this summer, but for speculation on how it will turn out, read on.
