I still can't believe how fast the Twins fortunes changed, They were in the ALDS (getting swept... again) in 2010. Now they're well on their way to consecutive Top 3 picks in the draft.
As far as the Royals go, they won't top the Sox in the standings when all is said and done. Because while the Sox can't seem to beat them, many other MLB teams have and will continue to. Third place is par for the course in Chicago. Not the best, not the worst, always in the middle. Classic yawn baseball
