In this thread: All things related to the AL Champions.

Duncan's Official Team Record prediction: 90 wins
Duncan's Official Team MVP prediction: Eric Hosmer

I can't wait for this season to start. The AL Central should be a very entertaining race. I'll give brief thoughts on each team the Royals must contend with to make it back to the postseason - strengths and weaknesses.

Detroit Tigers:
Strength: The offense is still full of powerful hitters, and Miguel Cabrera may be healthier.
Weakness: Rotation is questionable after Price and Sanchez, bullpen continues to be horrible.

Cleveland Indians:
Strength: Great manager and a deep, versatile lineup.
Weakness: The rotation is a question mark past Corey Kluber, and even he has a few questions about him.

Chicago White Sox:
Strength: 1-2-3 combo of Sale, Quintana and Samardzija is pretty formidable. Offense is anchored by Jose Abreu, too.
Weakness: Defense still has major questions, and this team has 20 games to improve by if it really wants to make the playoffs.

The Royals will be a division winner IF ...
1) Ventura and Duffy combine for 375+ innings of high-quality work
2) Eric Hosmer delivers on his potential with a FULL season of success rather than bursts
3) The deeper bullpen lessens the critical load on Herrera, Davis and Holland
4) Lorenzo Cain stays healthy
5) Either Alex Rios or Kendrys Morales bounces back to 2013 form

Let's get this started!

the Twins suck. They'll win 70 games or so.

The Indians will finish 3rd. Kluber / Bauer / Salazar / Carrasco are just too good to not go on a winning streak eventually.

Unfortunately, the front office over in Cleveland put too much emphasis on guys who can hit home runs and not enough on guys who can play defense and put the ball in play (the new formula to win games).

...and I still think we're better than Detroit (who I think falters a bit)

oh and the White Sox?

Ha. They have Chris Sale and Jose Abreu. They may find a way to get to 80 wins, but they're a .500 club.

Still a pretty good division, we're in

So last night, Bumgarner jawed at a batter all the way down the 1st base line and start of the 2nd base on a routine fly ball.....

I am sure the league will be handing out a suspension in the next few days.

Seriously though, if I'm Ventura I think I'd use that in my defense

Ha!

There is a bucket, in the stands, for the ball girls to put the ball into when it's fouled down the lines.

What a surreal game.

It's funny seeing the fans outside the gates with their Oriole capes cheering on the team. It looks like they're in prison or something when they looking through the bars.

Ventura has earned it because of getting in Trout's face & staring him down. What was that all about?

They followed that up with a throw to second base with the runner stealing, except nobody was covering second base.
