It appears that AA has gotten tired of simply stockpiling prospects and compensation picks and cashing it all in for a shot at a the division. The AL East is as winnable as it has been in a long time. The Sawks are improved but still pretty uninspiring, the Yankees are banking on a lot of aging guys, the Rays are no sure thing, and the O's are a flukey team that may or may not repeat what they did last season. It is wide open for the Jays to take.
