AL Central
1. Minnesota Twins: Now the reason I put the Twins up on top is because of their pitching depth. After the signings of Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes they show the potential to be a number one team. Plus they have just enough offense to win enough games to put them up on top, and over Detroit.
2. Detroit Tigers: Now between Minnesota and Detroit it is very close, but I think the Tigers are a worse team this offseason by trading away Doug Fister to the Washington Nationals. However I think that they will get more production from Ian Kinsler than Prince Fielder. Also Detroit has one of the best pitching staffs in the American League. It will be a close race but I think that they will have a few setbacks like Miguel Cabrera and his past injuries.
3. Kansas City Royals: The reason the Royals are placed third is because I believe that they are just a little better by signing Omar Infante. To the point where they can hop over the Cleveland Indians after their team worsened during the offseason, but not enough to pass the Tigers or Twins.
4. Chicago White Sox: Now the White Sox have had a lot of offseason moves with obtaining Adam Eaton and signing Jose Daniel Abreu. I think this is just the start of a great team, but like almost every team it is going to take some time for it to settle in. But they have the potential to win the division.
5. Cleveland Indians: The Indians have had a horrible offseason with the losses of Scott Kazmir and Ubaldo Jimenez. With these losses I think it justifies their drop in the AL Central standings.
