Definitely not a big fan of Orlando Hudson. Hardy did get brought back up towards the end of the season but didn't garner much time. His '07 and '08 stats would make me pause, but until last year's breakdown is explained, no, he is no guarantee. No dome is great. And hopefully their new digs treat them as well as Citi Field treated the Mets. Definitely like our pitching more than theirs.

I like our pitching more than theirs. 2. Hudson got benched by Torre for Belliard. So Hudson is no guarantee. 3. Hardy is coming from AAA not the majors, so he is no guarantee. 4. The Twins no longer have the dome advantage. These are reasons I like the Sox more than the Twins. 1. I like our pitching more than theirs.

No question. But to de-throne them as AL Central champs is not an impossible task, by any means. The Sox need to work on hitting the righties better and our pitchers need to keep Mauer and Morneau in check. Those are the 2 keys. But I'm not going to concede a division beacuse the Twinkies have picked up JJ Hardy, Jim Thome, and Orlando Hudson. I think we've got the horses to win this race!

The general fan consensus looks like the Twins take the central by 5 games. http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/standingspredictions.asp Nice team reviews.

That's the response? Poor grammar and a drug accusation? How about telling me why the White Sox will have trouble....wait, sorry...trying to type this with a straight face...with the Royals this year? Really? That’s the response?
