LAST SEASONS RECORD:100-62
LAST YEARS PREDICTION:90-72 This is rcabers first HBD season and he has started with a nice team. But as you know, this game takes alot of trial and error. Hopefully the errors will be few and the trial will be brief.
OUT: Vince Ellenwood , Chad Keisler , Louis Choate , Lou Wheat
IN: Jose Ontiveros , Danys Gongora
PREVIEW: The Errors were many(120) but minnesota overcame them with a stout offense. So Rcabers is off to a nice start in McCabe. He not only grabbed the #1 seed . He represented the A L in the World Series. But Rcabers and his Twins came up short in 5 games. With the success of last year, he went into the offseason on a high. The Twins first let Ellenwood and Kaisler go to free agency.Then Rcabers released Choate and Wheat. With only a couple roster spots open. He Signed free agent Ontiveros and promoted Danys "Going Going" Gongorda. Sorry Juan Gonzalez!! This is a classic..If It ain't broke don't fix it!! And Rcabers guys should make it far in the playoffs again. PREDICTION:98-74

LAST SEASONS RECORD:96-66
LAST YEARS PREDICTION:85-77 This is a very young team with only 2 players over 30. They also have some great talent in AAA waiting to mature . If this team continues to get bettter they may contend for the division in a couple of years.
OUT:
IN: Jamie Hall
PREVIEW: A couple of years!!! Hell they are contenders now. This team gave the A L Champs a run for there money ,and then some. Brent should be proud of this group of youngsters. And he went into the offseason feeling good with a solid core of up and comers.Brent only made one move in the offseason by picking up Hall in the R-5 draft. With about 3 roster spots still open, he has several options in AAA/AA to choose from.This young team will only get better. And that spells trouble for the rest of us.The Brewers will be in the playoffs and if the Twins falter. This team will win the division.PREDICTION:95-67

LAST SEASONS RECORD:81-81
LAST YEARS PREDICTION:85-77 Looks like Dime is happy with his roster and he brought in a couple of defensive bench players. If this team gets in the playoffs they may go all the way this time.
OUT: Dicky West , Brian Katou , Aurelio Rojas , Kyle Ramsey , Tuck Shumpert , Don Yamamoto
IN: Chip Ray , Harry Diaz , Darren West , Dave Miller
PREVIEW: Dimes Bluejays finished a little short of my prediction. And it was a step back from last years season.When they lost in th ALCS. In the offseason Dime lost Dicky "Sticky" West to free agency. And Katou, Rojas were released.Then he traded away Ramsey,Shumpert and Yamamoto.With a few gaps to fill, Dime promoted Ray and Diaz from the minors.Then finally he traded for Darren West and Miller.This team has a porous defense but their pitching and offense is adaquate.They don't have much of a chance winning this tough division. But could squeek out a wild card. Depends on the error total.PREDICTION:82-81

LAST SEASONS RECORD:78-84
LAST YEARS PREDICTION:75-87 With a 52 million surplus it looks like Ace will pick up some expensive contracts later this season.Or transfer money to IFA's and pick up some tasty Prospects.
OUT: Bruce Dorsey , Britt Bottalico
IN:
PREVIEW:Ace filled in for a season when he was dealt a bad hand.But he did add juicy prospects Derrek Duncan and Javy Concepcion before he bolted. The new owner of the White Sox is kgrffth. With 1 season under his belt the learning curve will be steep. But this team has some talent in the farm system and has alot of cap flexability. So it's not a bad situation for a rookie owner. In his first off-season, kgrffth lost Dorsey and Bottalico to free agency. And thats all....so far. With 2 spots still open. Kgrffth could either promote some farm hands or pick up a high priced superstar. It's nice having 26 million in cap space!!PREDICTION:81-81
