Thanks for the recap so far. Unfortunately even with an offseason F grade (tough grader by the way :-) still finds Detroit the class of the Central.

I think Detroit grade is way to harsh. Detroit is going to be much faster and athletically team this coming year and I bet much better defensive team. I willing to bet there not done adding bullpen strength yet and I wouldn't be surprised they still make a move yet this year to improve there offense. If you look back at last year Fielder had pretty much lack luster year for what he was being paid. I am also betting they did some of this for better club house chemistry. If Fielder continues to decline that trade is going to look amazing for Detroit. The one I would grade poorly is the Fister trade on short run but may be a great trade on long term if pitcher they acquired develops into top starter in couple of years and they are able to sign scherzer( sorry about spelling) to long term deal.

Cleveland can't be graded yet they usually make their deals after Winter meetings so a correct grade would be incomplete.

KC I think needs to do a lot of tinkering their losses are going to be harder to be replaced and I think they are going to decline this coming year. Just to many spots that need filling and not enough money or ready talent available . My Grade would be a C.

Twins moves so far this year would give them C grade if nothing else was done. I think they have added probably at least 6 wins to this club. Mauer moving to first will guarantee Twins offense improves because he's going to much healthier and rested adding more hitting to the Twins. Also like Cleveland there grade is incomplete but I would bet by opening day the Twins will have addressed some of their weaknesses and club will be improved. If they do address pitching and offense some more they could easily be 76 to 82 game winner. Not quite ready to make a playoff run but with Kids coming up should start to be contention by 2015 or 2016,

This was in the first paragraph "a grade on how each team has done up to this point". Otherwise every team would have an incomplete.
