2012 AL Central Analysis and Predictions (Part 3)

After taking an in depth look at the Central, the bottom line is this... The AL Central is the worst division in baseball, in competition with the NL Central, and only has one legitimate contender within its ranks. The Detroit Tigers will win at least 100 games and will contend for the world series in 2011. The Kansas City Royals will finally break through and take a step toward contending for the wild card and be 10 games better than they were last year. (As long as the injury bug stays far away.)  The rest of the AL Central will be both worse and bad. Really bad. The White Sox, Twins, and Indians will be out of the race by the All Star break and will begin rebuilding when this reality lands heavy on their front office come July. With no major moves in the off season, and question marks across all three rosters, the Indians, Twins and White Sox will need divine intervention to help cross the .500 mark. Not even an act of God could get them in a playoff race come September. 

Here is how we see the Central finishing.
