Welcome to the division thread where Tigers, Twins, White Sox, Indians and Royals fans can meet and discuss about the happenings from within.

The 2010 Major League Baseball Season kicks off April 5 on Easter Monday. The Tigers added a key bat while cutting payroll at the same time while the White Sox and Royals added pieces to the roster. However there are five teams in the division so let us look at what each did in the market.

Spring Training has started in the growing Cactus and shrinking Grapefruit Leagues so go ahead and talk about progress, releases, and signings that happens throughout the period.

So throughout the 2010 season, discuss the happenings in the AL CENTRAL THREAD as the season unravels and takes shape, expect this to come down to the wire in the end.

I've heard big things. The Tigers have a reliever named... Fu-Te Ni. Championship.

There's wonderment if Royals 3B Alex Gordon will ever fulfill lofty expectations. The former Golden Spikes winner, Gordon came in as one of the top prospects in baseball a few seasons back but has not gotten a hand on major league pitching. In addition, he got hurt last season thus stunting his development. This year, the Royals are hoping that he can become the player they drafted right out of the University of Nebraska.
