The Royals. This will be the weakest division. Twins & Tigers are going in the wrong direction, while the White Sox & Royals are moving up.

I voted for the Royals just so someone would, and I go and see that someone already has. They have no chance this year, but if the poll was for most exciting, it would be the Royals hands down. I cannot wait to watch these kids excel.

I think they have a good chance in such a weak division.

I might be biased but the Indians could be the "wild card" of this division this year or next. Their farm system consistently ranks in the top, and by mid-season the starting lineup will be mostly kids. With Drew Pomeranz, Alex White, Lonnie Chisenhall, and Jason Kipinis all moving towards the big leagues it's hard not to keep this team in consideration every season.

I'd have to say that the ChiSox have the most solid team in the division, thus my pick.

Their big talent is all in the Minors right now and only one or two of them will break the Big League club this year. Watch the Twins quietly win the division again.

The Twins still have a deep lineup and they have enough pitching to win the division.

Carlos Santana is one reason they traded Victor...
Laporta will be a star hasnt shown his potential yet still young
Choo is a star if you havent seen his numbers
Sizemore is a star who has been injured probably one of best CF in game
Cabrera is a star fielder at SS and can hit for decent average
Carmona has been a star pitcher few years he isnt the best but hes #2 or #3 on most rotations
Gomez had a decent rookie year

the royals dont have anyone that can even compare with the top players the Indians have since they traded Greinke, Alex Gordon is a bust

Just stop being a Homer please. Those are all average players, maybe some havn't hit potential, but if they have so many stars please tell me why they are 5th Place every year?

Oh wow they tied! Awesome. Now what pickups did they have in the offseason? Sure the Royals dealt Grienke, but the Indians have dealt several great pitchers in the last few years so don't give me that garbage.

Dont really wanna argue about this, because its like arguing over who the cutest girl at fat camp is, but...
Santana is good, but who know what he will be like coming back. Laporta is a bust ala Gordon. Choo is great, Sizemore has been unable to stay on the field, so moot point, Cabrera = Escobar, Carmona has been on and off and is usually bad against the Royals.

The Royals have very little, but Butler is the best position player out of the two teams. PECOTA has Kila hitting 25 HRs this year and they are darn good at projecting. The Royals will get at least three guys up during the season: Moustakas, another position player and a pitching prospect. Their outlook for 2011 is much better than the Indians.
