This is probably one of the most informative and interesting articles I've read since I joined the site. Keep up the good work.

somebody go out on a limb and not pick the Yankees or Red Sox to make the postseason. Hard to do, though.

Whew!  Well done, simply a great effort. I don't agree with the A's, though.

Well I beleive your predictions are pretty accurate, but I myself am a Cardinals fan so I am anticipating the NL version. This years sleeper team................Toronto Blue jays.........I hate Canadian Baseball teams but I beleive they will show up in the East.

 good informative preview of the a.l. where the pitchers don't get to hit (that is a whole other topic)but How can the twins with baseball's top pitcher johan "carlos" santana be in 4th place in the central

Cleveland to win the AL Central LOL

as a baseball fan, and fantasy baseball player, many of the predictions are probably true, BUT last year had some unexpected turns and i hope there are none this year, for my fantasy draft's sake :)

this is a quality analysis of the AL...i'm looking forward to the NL....however there are some flaws...
To simply say that cleveland will win the AL central is off. BTW, the white sox infield is more than just decent. Joe Crede was a viable candidate for Gold Glove, Juan Uribe might, and i say might, have the strongest arm in the AL (tejada), and Tad Iguchi is just an amazing baseball player that doesnt get credit.  Until the sox are beaten, they have to be the favorite. But still, good article!

Clevenland's run at the end of last season
J.D.

this a good article, Yankees all the way!

"they will have some major problems with the middle relief."
huh??  The Jays had one of the best bullpens in the league last year (check the stats)and the only real move is the addition of Ryan.  How can that be a weak point?  The pitching staff has the least questions on this team.  Granted the offense may the their downfall, but from the starting 5 to the pen there are no worries.  They will win 93, but it'll probably fall short of the wildcard.

Will stay on the bangwagon even if the Jays don't make the playoffs. Most fans are just looking for a promising team. Maintaing an over .500 record is what most Jays fans want from their team right now.
They'll never be the Jays of the early 90's ever again though.

jays are on fire and have one of the ebs offenses in the league. Once the starting rotation comes back, they will make a serious run. And tornto has made the best accquistions for ur information. Jays winning the pennant for sure

It's going to be detroit in the central with Jim leiland. The Cleveland Indians are going to have a terrible season. They are going to place fourth. The minnesota twins or Chicago white sox are going to win the wild card this year. This will be the year the Red sox do not make the playoffs. It will be A's, Yanks, Tigers,Twins and for the NL, it will be the Mets,dodgers, cardinal, and the Reds. It's so obvious
