AL projected Standings

Using the CHONE projections, and what I currently assume will be each team's lineup. All trades, signings up to today are considered.

AL East
Red Sox 92-70
Yankees 92-70
Rays 89-73
Blue Jays 83-79
Orioles 65-97

Right now I'm assuming that Curt Schilling does little for the Red Sox in light of his injury concerns. If Schilling were 100% they'd be 94-95 wins. They are unlikely to push Buchholz and Lester for 180-200 innings each, so I'm assuming significant innings for some not so good pitchers. Devil Rays? WTF? My projections are kind of boring for the AL, not much different than last years, except for this. I'll have to explain in more detail in another post sometime. Orioles are the worst team in the league, I have little doubt about that.

AL Central
Indians 92-70
Tigers 91-71
White Sox 76-86
Twins 76-86
Royals 70-92

Nothing to see here, looks like last year. Should be a pretty good fight with the East teams for the 3 available playoff spots.

AL West
Angels 91-71
Mariners 83-79
Athletics 75-87
Rangers 72-90

Here's hoping nothing unexpected happens.

I hope the National League has a few more bold prediciton opportunities.
