2011 AL East Predictions: Boston Red Sox Will Top New York Yankees

Ahhh I can smell the clay already.

Pitchers and catchers have reported to camp, there is less than a week before the first Spring Training game and speculation about who will finish the 2011 season where in the AL East is already brewing.

The AL East has always been one of the toughest, if not THE toughest, divisions in baseball.

This year will be no different.

In fact, I expect it to be more competitive this season than it has been in a while.

The Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles have made key signings this offseason—ones that will inevitably propel the Sox to the top and finally lead the Orioles over .500.

And just because they did not make any major blockbuster deals, that does not mean that the New York Yankees will not be in the running for one of the top spots.

Despite their quiet and rather disappointing off season, the Yankees will continue to put up a fight at the top of the division as always.

Now, where will all five AL East teams actually finish this year?

Nobody knows for sure, but here is what I am thinking.
