LAST SEASON: 100-62
OUT: Del Rincon , Ralph Martin , Vinny Barnes , Lonnie Bold , Pat Paronto , Charlie Valentin
IN: Troy Bay , Miguel Martin , Wes Sierra , Matty Lackey , Sadie Hatfield
PREVIEW: After winning their 3rd sraight Div Crown and losing in the LCS. The Twinkies look to make it to the series. Losing Rincon,Martin and Bold to free agency will hurt a tad in that quest. They plugged the holes with Free Agents Bay, Martin, Sierra and Lacky then picked up Hatfield in the R-5 draft. I don't see where this team improved ,but they are still the favorites to win the division. Though more vulnerable to defeat. Prediction: 92-70

LAST SEASON: 84-78
OUT: Felipe Park , Carlos Estrada , Daniel Rhodes
IN: Dan Guiel , Joel McGriff , Peter Boyle , Kenneth Sheldon
PREVIEW: Toronto is the other powerhouse in the A L North. The last 2 years they have missed the playoffs so dimestore made a couple of tweaks to his M L lineup. First he allowed Park and Estrada go to Free Agency .With that move he picked up a couple of Supplemental 1st round picks . Then the Blue Jays released a low level DH in Rhodes. After trimming the roster ,Dimestore went a shopping in free agency. He picked up 2 time FOY Guiel and 2 time Cy-young Mcgriff for a total of 7.6 million in salary.Then he promoted 1B/DH Boyle. Finally the team aquired Sheldon in the R-5 draft. Losing 2 Type B players will hurt a tad .But the signing of 2 veteran players will soften the blow.Prediction: 82-82

LAST SEASON: 58-104
OUT: Ronnie Flores , Dummy Petkovsek
IN: Brian Lincoln , Bo Schmidt
PREVIEW: dmann is in the 3rd or 4th year of a rebuild. So he made only a couple of moves this offseason. First he allowed Flores and Petkovsek go to F/A. No great loss. Then he went out and signed a Starting Pitcher in Lincoln.They finally Promoted their former 1st round pick in Schmidt. While the white Sox have improved their Rotation(Which was needed). They still have to address the aneimic Runs Scored(750). Still with the pitching upgrade they will improve a little. Prediction: 70-92

LAST SEASON: 57-105
OUT: Vince Miles
IN: Rickey Wood , Pasqual Acevedo , Trey Robinson , Carlos Francisco , Marty Wulf , Dustin Kiner
PREVIEW: The Brewers were once the toast of the A L North, but that was many moons ago. Last year brent bought the team for a 74 Pinto and a Vacation Package to beautiful Walla Walla Washington.He demoted alot of the good young players during the season last year, Which guaranteed a high draft pick this season. So now he has brought up Several good young players and signed free Agents Wood and Acevedo. While this team has improved with its good players back in the Bigs. They will not win this division and I believe they will get a good draft pick next year. Prediction: 80-82
