Over the course of the next few weeks, I’m going to be posting my Major League
Baseball season preview, complete with season predictions and short team
previews for contenders. I know this is not necessarily of interest to all you
Odd Thinkers out there, but it should. Anyway, I will be posting some regular
Odd Thoughts too, so don’t stop reading if you’re uninterested in the baseball
stuff.
If you want me to preview a team that is a non-contender, just let me know.
American League Central
Predicted order of finish: 1) Minnesota Twins, 2) Chicago White Sox, 3)
Cleveland Indians, 4) Kansas City Royals, 5) Detroit Tigers Nothing new this
year. The Tigers are still bad, but they did add Tiger legends Lance Parrish as
bullpen coach, Kirk Gibson as hitting coach, and Alan Trammell as manager. Mike
Sweeny is a prime-time player on a very bad team in Kansas City. The Indians are
coming along nicely in their rebuilding, but it will be 2005 five before they’re
ready. The White Sox may be the most improved team in the American League
(preview following). The Twins should rule the roost once again as their amazing
young team continues to get better.
