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!

From what little I saw of Moose's ABs in spring... he was definitely looking to hit the ball the other way. I'm very curious to see if it carries over to the season. Batting him 2nd seems out there but I'm not going to dismiss it immediately. Maybe it'll get him some good pitches to hit.

of course if Moose is the Moose we've seen in years past it's a horrible idea

I'm hoping he's turned the page with his new approach

If he can hit .280 with an .800 OPS he would be a tremendous 2 hitter

big if, but let's see

This!! I've gone every year and had tickets again this year but just gave them to a buddy - its a shit show every year - but this year especially with the band wagoners (a good thing, we need any and all revenue). I'm so much more interested in the baseball aspect of it at the paltry age of 36 - I'm watching from home where I can actually enjoy Ace and the boys!!

Happy to hear Orlando made it. He had a nice strong spring.

Orlando makes a lot of sense as the fifth OF. Great athlete and defender. Rh bat.

Probably want to keep Flynn's options. If Madson has some MLB success, might be a decent trade candidate.
