Most of you have probably read Brandonwarne52's story predicting 85 wins and 2nd place in the AL Central this year. Other sites aren't as optimistic about us, Royals Review members seem pretty sure the Royals are better than us again this year. Some South Side Soxers don't think we're worthy of hating anymore. They've been celebrating our demise at Bless You Boys for a while now. And a fanpost prediction at Let's Go Tribe has us in last place again. At least SI thinks we'll end up in 4th place this year.

Since last year, for better or worse, we've lost Young, Thome, Nathan, Cuddyer, Kubel, and Bill Smith. But we've added Doumit, Willingham, The Marquis, Carroll, and maybe Parmelee.

We've also got (I hope) a healthy Joe Mauer back...(See what I did there?)

...and Morneau seems like his old self again (See what I did there too?).

What do you think? Another year where we're just glad it's finally over?

Or can we go from worst to first again?
