I hate to say it, but I think this is the Yankees' year. They've at least tried to solve their pitching problems, and since I believe the Red Sox nation made a deal with the devil to give them the World Series last year, I think we'll be subjected to Yankee dominance for the next 100 or so years.
As for America's team (i.e. the Twins), if we can keep Mauer and Mays healthy and productive, and everyone plays to expectations, we might be able to hang with the Yankees this year.
