Last year, the Tigers had some pretty damn good luck (Verlander, Peralta, Avila, Valverde all had career years) and everything went terrible for the Indians (injuries, injuries, injuries, Santana having some fairly terrible luck).
I wish the Indians had made ONE MORE impact move to add to their offense, but even adding Choo, Kipnis and a Santana with moderate luck should help significantly. Even if Ubaldo just pitches decently, he's still an upgrade over Carmona/Talbot. The Tigers should come back to earth a bit and even things out. They'll still be the favorites, but I think the Indians can only get better than last year (considering the amount of injuries).
We just have to hope Masterson's 2011 campaign wasn't ALSO a career year.
