Re: Yanks/Cards/BoSox/Phils or the field?
I wouldn't say the AL Central is that weak . . . though I don't see the poor Royals and the Indians be that competitive.
The Chisox still has arguably one of the best starting rotations in baseball (Buehrle, Peavy, Danks, and Floyd), while the Tigers have some nasty starters as well (Verlander, Porcello, and Scherzer). The Twins don't have a rotation that readily springs to mind with their ability (even though I'm rooting for Liriano, I think he's a lost cause by now). They may not win 100 games, but any of the top three AL Central can give any other team the run for their money in any series.
