Most of the AL Central’s outfields are set, but there are a couple of starting spots up for grabs with important implications.

A few weeks ago we looked at the performance of aging hitters and showed that owners should use caution in drafting hitters who are 35+ years of age. Does it also apply to pitchers?

With the exception of the Tigers, all AL Central teams have spring training competitions for their fifth rotation spot. Who are the favorites for each team?

Which AL Central rookies need to be on fantasy owner’s radars going into drafts? Several rookies in the division could earn significant playing time this year and contribute to a fantasy team’s stats.

Most bullpens in the AL Central will look significantly different in 2014. New closers take up residence in Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago. Seventh and eighth inning options will also have new looks across the division.

Raul Ibanez (42 this season), Ichiro Suzuki (40) and Derek Jeter (40) were each productive in 2013. But can these geezers be pleasers in 2014?

With success both before and after, could Adam Wainwright be the poster boy for Tommy John surgery?

The AL Central defending champion Tigers will open the 2014 season with a completely different infield alignment from Opening Day 2013.

Both Jhonny Peralta (SS, DET) and Omar Infante (2B, DET) will be free agents this winter. The Tigers may not retain either one.

The Twins traded franchise icon Justin Morneau (1B/DH, PIT) for Alex Presley (OF, MIN) and a player to be named later.

Victor Martinez (DH/1B/C, DET) starts two games at catcher, CLE and MIN face pitching problems, CHW ponders prospects, and KC seeks rejuvination.
