Because they’re the Twins, people generally expect their rotation to come through as expected.  But let’s quickly run though their five projected starters: Francisco Liriano is simply put, Jekyll and Hyde. Scott Baker has missed time in every season but one because of injury and has a career ERA of

Tim Lincecum That San Francisco Giants rotation! That damn San Francisco Giants rotation!!  They are the only reason my home-state Texas Rangers are not the current World Series champions (I refuse to give credit to Juan Uribe, Edgar Renteria, or Cody Ross).   And now I have to spend an

Cleveland Indians fans have had, to say the least, a rough few years. The Tribe haven’t been able to win more than 69 games the last two seasons and 2008 only saw a .500 winning percentage. Trades and injuries have changed the vibe in Cleveland from when they won the

Any time you can follow one of the five best starters in the American League (Justin Verlander) with a guy who has averaged more than a strikeout per inning over his career (Max Scherzer), you’ve got the makings of a good rotation.  After that, though, the Tigers need some things

Mark Buehrle Can you believe the depth of the White Sox rotation?  All five of their starters threw at least 31 starts in 2010, and their 5th starter is either a guy one year removed from an All-Star campaign with the Tigers (Edwin Jackson) or a former National League Cy
