1. I gotta' go with the Indians
But then I'm an Indians fan. I think they've built a solid team, not as talented as the Twins, but deeper. I think people tend to underestimate the tribe's bats. This is a better team than the one that beat the Yankees 22-0 last year. I'm hoping some of the younger pitchers will blossom this year.

2. What about their pitching?
How is the Tribe's rotation this year?

3. Hard to say
Very iffy. Sabathia? Still needs to mature. Westbrook? Can he repeat last season? Lee? There were two Lees last year, one very good, the other very, uh, mediocre. Which is the real Lee? Millwood? Does he still have it after surgery? Elarton? Was once a 17-game winner. 10 wins this year would be great!

Maybe the answer lies in Victor Martinez (the Indians hard hitting catcher). The Indian's like his bat, but how good is he at calling a game, handling pitchers? That's one I can't answer.
