AL predictions by team...

 

Among others, Cleveland to win the division, Miguel Sano the AL home run crown (over Trout and Machado) and Buxton/Berrios to fight it out for Rookie of the Year.

 

 

There was another article predicting Lawrie would be a surprise offensive breakout candidate and hit 20+ homers.

Sano and Soler the top two picks. Lawrie at bottom in honorable mention with Trumbo.

It is far from bold to say the White Sox's starting pitching staff will be the club's strength in 2016, so we will ramp that up a notch by predicting that the rotation turns into one of the American League's best.

 

Too bad the Sox starting staff had the highest fWAR in the AL last year...

That was the most generic or boring prediction of all due to Padilla. Pretty much all the others mentioned specific players...at least they could have mentioned Rodon or projected improvement from Johnson vs. Samardzija, etc.
