A post in the hyped team doesn't make playoffs thread by M2 go me thinking... What relatively un-hyped or average team makes the jump? M2 suggested the Royals COULD be if they get a good performance from their pitching, and i have to agree. I'd also watch out for the Indians, as defensively I think they will greatly assist what could be a better than average rotation. The AL Central, while weak, is winnable by more than just the Tigers.
