Good for you. That means they will not finish in 3rd. They predicted the Twins to finish in 3rd last year
So I guess that means we'll finish in 1st?

Sure, why not !
Could be an interesting year, the usual suspects in the AL Central , if Cleveland get it together you'd have a pretty good run this summer.
If the Tigers pitching comes thru as expected.
The Twin's will be there as usual and the Wh Sox pitching is better than before.
The angry Yankee executives could not have scripted it any better. Wednesday, it was supposed to be a quiet at-bat, a celebratory moment for Rodriguez - especially on YES.
That "humongous gorilla" that once weighed A-Rod down in October was gone. The hip was better, too. There was also the official "one of the guys" proclamation hanging somewhere in A-Rod's mind.
"That all amounts to a huge sigh or relief for Alex Rodriguez, who now comes into camp healthy," Michael Kay, YES' play-by-play man, said as Rodriguez stepped in Wednesday to face Pirates pitcher Ross Ohlendorf.
As soon as those uplifting words left Kay's mouth, Ken Singleton, his partner, down-shifted into the dark side. Singleton started talking about last spring, hip surgery and "uh, uh, steroids."
Kay quickly said: "Now Alex was looking to have a very, very quiet spring this year with health and the world championship, but he was questioned by the media the other day because he's going to be questioned by FBI officials about the Canadian-based doctor Anthony Galea . . ."
Singleton tried to characterize this as a routine matter, but the prominent mention of A-Rod's latest controversy - highlighting it during his first spring at-bat - was not business as usual for YES.
Poor A-Rod. Just when you think the monkey's off his back with last year's success, his own team's management (and broadcast network) are apparently upset with him. Enough so to bust his ass on his first ST at-bat:
New York Yankees upset with Alex Rodriguez, and YES coverage lets it show
See what I mean about A-Rod not having the world at his feet anymore?

"Everybody does business in a different way," the team's managing general partner said Tuesday following a news conference to announce details of the first Pinstripe Bowl at new Yankee Stadium, "I just don't believe in contract extensions, and that's throughout the organization, no matter who it is. Hopefully nobody takes that personally. It's just business."
Hal Steinbrenner says the New York Yankees won't alter their policy against contract extensions and will deal with Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Joe Girardi after the season.
Any chance Jeter dons another jersey other than the pinstripes?

Sandy, how do you like the Yanks' chances of back-to-back titles?
Personally- they still have a good nucleus (Teixeira has some more strong years ahead of him), but they lost some contributing factors that'll be tough to replace: Matsui was series MVP, Melky Cabrera was one of their clutch hitters, and Damon had some big moments.

Not the best news to wake up to… “Indians minor league catcher Steven Lebron was suspended for 50 games for testing positive for the steroid Boldenone metabolite.
Lebron, a member of the Indians Dominican Summer League team, was signed in January. His contract was voided at no cost to the Indians.”
