Would have added all five spots, but poll limited to three questions.

Poll closes one minute before first pitch Opening Day.

Minnesota will win again. The Twins are the best run organization in this wretched division. They will find a way. The White Sox will be dead last with a very low number of victories.

KC fans oddly are thinking the Royals are contenders already led by Witt.

Minnesota has 2 rain outs not made up? Bad weather forecast for next week?

This division should be relegated to the Carib league.

Forget that, send them to Alaska or something not nice.

Most of the year, it would be bad. But everyone should head to Alaska (Denali NP, other places) either for Summer Solstice for a nice trip / cruise, or briefly enjoy the Northern Lights.

4/30 so far have put the Sox in the top three. Our spirit has been broken.

I feel pretty good about Minnesota 1st and Cleveland 2nd. On paper, Detroit is a clear 3rd but they seem to always underperform. I really think there could be three teams winning < 75 games.

Not sure it is spirit being broken so much as reality, and not wanting to get our hopes up again. The way I am thinking at the moment is that anything above 5th place will be above expectations so will anything above 65 wins.

Our optimism or pessimism means nothing here.  It's all about the product on the field.

With the product the White Sox have this season the grass on the field should be well fertilized.

I really wish I could convince myself that the Royals will take a leap this year as I believe they spent as much or more in FA as any other AL team this offseason (in terms of 2024 spending).

currently at o/u 74.5 on DK. 76 projected wins on FG. Projections like their offense a bit, but their pitching not so much.
