April 8, 200422 yr so the twins without a bullpen and the royals without starting pitchers..... basically this division is going to be won somewhere around .500 wow
April 8, 200422 yr I actually agree to what your saying. This division could go down to the last week and wouldn't be surprised if the team in first is only 5 games above .500
April 8, 200422 yr so the twins without a bullpen and the royals without starting pitchers..... basically this division is going to be won somewhere around .500 wow And Detroit being 4-0. You're right, wow! It's too early to tell anything though.
April 9, 200422 yr Funny thing is, I believe the Sox have the better of the starting staffs in this division, maybe not in the bullpen but also the offense can pretty much stand up to any team. I still think its the Sox division to win if they can stay "Together".
April 9, 200422 yr We will win the division if we find a 2B that knows that in baseball, you have to hit the ball to help score, and if Valentin gets out of his swing-happy mode.
April 9, 200422 yr The majority of the games will be played inter-division. I can't see a .500 team realistically winning any division.
April 9, 200422 yr The majority of the games will be played inter-division. I can't see a .500 team realistically winning any division. With the unbalanced schedules, and expecting the Tigers to have a loss or two before the season is over, it will take 8 to 10 games over .500 to win.
April 9, 200422 yr We will win the division if we find a 2B that knows that in baseball, you have to hit the ball to help score, and if Valentin gets out of his swing-happy mode. This team could really use Roberto Alomar. His average over the past few seasons has gone down, but the guy could get on base and works the count to give the other hitters an idea of what they are going to see at the dish. Damn shame. :banghead
April 9, 200422 yr The majority of the games will be played inter-division. I can't see a .500 team realistically winning any division. How many games won this division last year? And all of the top teams are worse than last year.
April 9, 200422 yr Author clearly the top team will be above .500, yet I look at the contending teams, and I can't believe all these holes in chicago, kc, and minnesota... I think if we can over come this beginning month or two, we'll be fine. We should be able to sell off Rauch/malone/borchard for the pieces we're missing. my wish list would be to get marcus giles or furcal and robbie alomar.

Everyone thought 84 games could win the division and Minn. won 90. I think 88-92 will win the division.

April 9, 200422 yr Author I don't think KW would trade for Alomar again. he's only due like 1-2 mil, right? zona only signed him for a year, I thought. so robbie's not an option ever again? shame...
April 9, 200422 yr he's only due like 1-2 mil, right? zona only signed him for a year, I thought. so robbie's not an option ever again? shame... Just think of the scrutiny KW would come under. KW did not sign him in the offseason, when it was guaranteed he would come back if signed to a reasonable contract. Then at the trade deadline, he goes out and acquires Robbie and has to give up prospects to do so? Trading for Robbie would mean that our players at second have failed, I don't think anyone in their right mind would go after someone he could have had all along.
April 10, 200422 yr How many games won this division last year? And all of the top teams are worse than last year. I guess we'll have to wait till October to find out who is right.
