FanGraphs: "Cleveland Indians: AL Central Favorites" "If the Indians just play .500 ball the rest of the way, they’ll finish with an 85-77 record. To win the division by just a single game, the Tigers would have to finish 66-52, a .559 pace over the rest of the season. Can they do it? Sure – most people thought the Tigers were a 90+ win team headed into the season, so it’s not an unreasonable projection. But it’s also quite possible that the...  

But C.C. Sabathia could be the next pitcher to get to that illustrious number. Currently, in his 12th major league season, Sabathia has 181 wins in his career, an average of just over 15 wins per season. Since 2007, he has won 17 games or more, including a ...

The 2012 Yankees are off to a decent start. At 8-6 they've had some good games and some not-so-good games.  Of primary concern? The starting pitching. It's not a "red alert" situation, but the Yankees aren't aiming to just win the division. The Yanks start every season with the intention of winning the World Series.  They already have the ace in C.C. Sabathia, and while his initial starts this season haven't been up to his lofty standards the...

May started out a little bit differently than the kind month of April for the Rangers. I mostly mean that the Rangers have lost the two games they have played in the month of May whereas they won nearly every challenge, contest, battle, or trial April tossed their way.
