We're approachin spring training, but its still a little early to go into details as there's still a couple notable Free Agents out there and trade rumors (Santana). Just post divisional predictions and a projected range of wins as i'm curious to see what people think early(and playoffs or a tiny description if you want)

AL East
1.Redsox (I think they'll barely win it, Yanks/Sox is a toss up really though) 95-100 wins
2.Yankees (WC) 95-100 wins (about the same as last year, except more consistent rotation)
3.Blue Jays 85-90 wins (amazing rotation, could prolly scare some teams in the WC race and make a run)
4.Devil Rays 70-75 wins
5.Orioles 60-65 wins

AL Central
1.Tigers 90-95 wins (I loved that Cabrera/Willis trade, makes them instant favorites imo)
2.Indians 85-90 wins (think they'll have a recession this year)
3.White Sox 75-80 wins
4.Twins 75-80 wins (great young pitching, don't think they have enough offense)
5.Royals 65-70 wins

AL West
1.Angels 90-95 wins
2.Mariners 80-85 wins (horrendous rotation but a great bullpen and pretty good lineup should carry them to .500)
3.Rangers 65-70 wins
4.Athletics 60-65 wins (Beane completely dismantled this team, gonna be an ugly rebuilding year)

NL East
1.Mets 90-95 wins (Sanchez comin back should help the pen, all falls on the rotation though, I like Maine a lot when he's on, but him and Perez need more consistency, Pedro is the x factor)
2.Phillies 85-90 wins
3.Braves 85-90 wins
4.Marlins 75-80 wins
5.Nationals 75-80 wins (i think they'll be good in a couple years, lot of young talent)

NL Central
1.Cubs 85-90 wins (about the same as last year)
2.Brewers 85-90 wins (I think they'll be improved, incredibly talented young team wit a playoff race experience under their belt, could win the division)
3.Reds 70-75 wins
4.Cardinals 70-75 wins (I think they have very very little depth)
5.Astros 65-70 wins
6.Pirates 60-65 wins

NL West
1.Padres 85-90 wins (that rotation is gonna be godly if healthy, Peavy/Young/Prior/Maddux is just insane, offense is good enough to get by)
2.Diamondbacks 85-90 wins (WC) (Webb/Haren will be a dominant 1-2 punch, toss up between the offenses)
3.Dodgers 80-85 wins (Torre relies on his veterans wit a mix of youth but just misses getting the Dodgers to the playoffs his 1st year)
4..Rockies 75-80 (I can see them winning the WC again, but I expect some kind of decline more realistically)
5.Giants 65-70 (atrocious team)

Not being a Royals fan is always a good thing

Baseball is my personal favorite to watch out of the major sports though

Twins new stadium looks nice though I believe they won't make the playoffs this year but my main focus is the Yankees I wanna see how things workout this year with out Torre and I also wanna see how the young pitchers on the rotation do.

looks solid.. shoulda kept the roof, the weather there sucks

also they'll prolly move the team about 5 yrs later b.c they arent getting and revenue

Idk if they have the money to build a retractable roof, I know for a fact they definitely didn't want another domed stadium, considering the Metrodome is one of the ugliest stadiums ever

but the weather is perfect in minnesota in the summers gen...should make for some great baseball weather
