I think the Twins will take the division, good offense, decent pitching, one of the best closers in the game. The Tigers have a shot too, but I just feel like they'll just collapse at some point.
Funny thing is if you had asked me this about two years ago, I would've said the Indians and the Royals would be the two best teams in this division at this point. The Indians were loaded with good bats (Martinez, Hafner, Sizemore, Garko, Peralta) and I always thought Lee and Westbrook would end up good pitchers, but looks like it hasn't worked out for them yet. And the Royals - I just thought Butler and Gordon would both be star players by now. And they always seem to have a Mark Quinn-esque player (someone who plays good for one year, but never seems to have another good season again) year in and year out.
