Steve Stone once again impressing me!

I fail to see where any team in the divsion even competes? did any other team improve?

Why the worry?

Sox should win this division going away

I don't think anybody really expected the Sox to "win this division going away" last year. They proved to be exactly who we thought they were.

I always 'predict' them to win.

I think I remember me saying 81 wins for the Sox and 86 for the Cubs with neither making the playoffs.

I expect a season similar to the Giants last year. Winning, sometimes exciting but ultimately unrewarding.

I'm glad you spent your Friday night trying to show that I'm a White Sox meatball.

If 91 victories mean "going away," then I'm with you. I see Dank and Floyds improving, especially with Peavy's presence.

There are still moves to be made so it's way too early to make predictions but it looks like the Sox and Twins will be in a dogfight all season long. Hopefully the Twins will fade down the stretch from playing in the hot Minnesota sun all summer.

They also treated the ball as if it were a hand grenade in the field...but they have a total leg up on this Division with these starting pitchers.
Williams is always active IN SEASON tweaking the roster.

Twins very well could have improved, however the starting rotation in Minnesota is a big question mark.

I think the Sox will win the division because of the pitching, however anything can happen. I do think Danks is going to have a massive year this year.
