While the future may be bright for the AL Central, namely the White Sox, the general consensus is that the Central is the weakness in baseball.

Much like the last couple of years, it will likely come down to the Indians and Twins, with Clevland being the favorites.

The Indians added two bullpen pieces in Tyler Clippard and Oliver Perez as well as adding outfield depth with veterans Carlos Gonzalez and Matt Joyce and the re-addition of Carlos Santana.

Meanwhile, the Twins had a less sexy winter with signings such as Nelson Cruz, Marwin Gonzalez and Jonathan Schoop.

The most interesting team this year will be the White Sox, as this is the year that we need to see whether or not their farm system, which is among the tops in the league, will be as good as advertised or not.

If there is no improvement this season, then it might be time to consider trading some pieces or not on the South Side.

The Indians are still the favorites to win the division once again, but the only thing that might change that is if they decide to trade off some of their pitching, namely Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer, which had been discussed this winter during the Winter Meetings. The Twins will give them a run for their money, but will ultimately fall short.
