The O's deserve much props if they get to 70 wins without Bedard.

I'm ready for the season to get started. Can't wait to see the Yanks and the Sox fans having to watch another AL team win the series. GO TIGERS.

Man whats up with all these tiger fans. How do you think the AL central will end up? I think the tigers are the favorites but baseball is a crazy game anything can happen.

It's either the TIGERS or the tribe. And I think one of those two will actually win the series.

I agree. IMO the tigers problem last year was pitching. The addition of Willis was huge for them. Maybe his numbers weren't so good last year but coming over to the AL will be a big advantage for him. The problem I have with the Indians is just the opposite its their hitting. I look for Pronk to have a bounce back year, Grady and Victor to continue to be solid players and mature. The only places that scare me are LF (whoever it maybe), Franklin Gutierrez and Asdrubal Cabera (these two are young and talented but may suffer the sophomore slump much like Peralta last year.) Long story short inconsistent young players and I don't like the tribes LF platoon system.

"Hell no, who cares about that, picthers and cathers report... baseball is back!!"

Tigers will still need to figure out middle relief with Joel Zumaya out with injury. We need someone to pick it up .

Tigers will for sure be a force next year, they will easily be one of the top three teams in MLB. I have a huge man crush on Granderson and think he will have a huge year this season. I wouldn't be surprised to see Miggy have some transition downs as he will have a ton of pressure to perform and be under the spotlight all season, something he never really had to deal with in Florida too much. Though once he gets situated and comfortable with the AL that lineup is going to be very dangerous. Along with a solid rotation and a great manager, the Tigers scare me very much being a Sox fan.

And I'm not counting out the Tribe either. After last season, they now have experience and a heck of a chip on their shoulder....that always means danger. Also, C.C. has something to prove this year, even though he won the Cy Young, like he said, he would have switched places with Backett in a heart beat. These kids want to win, bad, and they will.

The only thing I can hope for is that the Tribe and Tigers beat up on each other enough to have them staggering into the post-season, because I have no doubt in my mind the wild card will be coming out of the central this year, barring any crazy injuries. So the yanks better get the lazy boys ready now, because the AL postseason is going to be amazing.
