All-Decade Team: Closer
There was nothing more certain in the first decade of Kinsella than the safety of a lead in the 9th inning when Vic Castillo stepped on the mound. His performance was so dominant that he was the overwhelming choice for the All-Decade team over distant runners up James Hutton, Matthew Crosby, and Carlos Solano. Voting scores were as follows (20 votes):
Vic Castillo (17) - 91 pts
James Hutton (1) - 32 pts
Matthew Crosby (2) and Carlos Solano - 28 pts
Raul Astacio - 1 pt
All-Decade Team: Designated Hitter
Being the best hitter for the World's winningest regular season franchise led to the overwhelming selection of Brandon Sutton to the All-Decade team, well ahead of the big hitting DH for the AL's most successful playoff team, Darryl Whitaker. Voting tally was as follows (21 votes):
Brandon Sutton (19) - 101 pts
Darryl Whitaker - 46 pts
Rick Melhuse and Al Perez (1) - 16 pts
Todd Winchester (1) - 10 pts
All-Decade Team: Right Field
After playing the entire decade and being the top right fielder in almost every offensive statistic while also earning two Gold Gloves, B.C. Javier was the clear choice for the All-Decade team as he dominated the voting over the clear choice for #2, Guy Cunningham. Voting scores were as follows (21 votes):
B.C. Javier (20) - 103 pts
Guy Cunningham (1) - 63 pts
James Sherman - 10 pts
Willie Jose - 9 pts
Eric Roosevelt - 4 pts

AL South Season 11 Preview
The South was the AL's top division last year, with Tampa Bay, Kansas City and Charlotte all making the playoffs. Although the Royals lost to the Yankees in the first round, the Knights scored upsets over Oakland and Chicago before losing to the Rays in the ALCS.
Can the young Royals or the resurgent Knights overtake the Rays this season? Can the Rangers retool to get into the race? Can the Rays make the long trek back to the WS and shed the "Bills" label? Here's how we break it down:
TAMPA BAY RAYS: Season 10 Record - 107-55; Hitting - 889 runs (2nd); Pitching - 3.50 ERA (1st); Fielding - .990 % (1st)
Given their commitment of nearly $200MM to FA's Branch Vitiello and Kordell Becker, the Rays' Season 10 - 107 wins but a timid 4-1 WS loss to St. Louis - has to be called a disappointment. Despite fairly steady trade talks all off season, they're bringing back the identical roster this year. Pitching and defense are the heart of the team - the 3-headed monster of Vitiello, Becker and Santos Lorenzo leads the rotation, with slick fielders Mariano Mateo (SS), Jamie Faulk (2B) and Scott Perry (CF) anchoring the defense. The key to their offense is getting good contribution from every spot in the lineup, although DH Vic Gonzalez seems poised to enter the ranks of the league's elite sluggers.
KANSAS CITY ROYALS: Season 10 Record - 91-71; Hitting - 909 runs (1st); Pitching - 4.53 ERA (9th); Fielding - .983 % (tie 8th)
The Royals boast having the best all-round player in the AL (and maybe all Kinsella) in 2B Lorenzo Manto. His .360/26/125/52 SB/131 Runs MVP Season sparked their playoff run and #1-ranked offense. With Manto in front of him, Hersh Taylor could eventually challenge for the all-time RBI leadership (159 last year). The Manto/Taylor production is a given - watch for 2nd-year 3B Malik Stokes to emerge as another key producer. The key to the Royals' fortunes, though, lies with improved pitching. Armando Taveras (17-7, 3.66) thrived in his first year, but Sun Wanatabe (12-10, 4.51) had some rookie struggles - he'll have to improve and likely will. KC went out and got some FA help in #5 starter Haywood Charles and setup man Joshua Edwards (both on economy 1-year contracts).
CHARLOTTE KNIGHTS: Season 10 Record - 84-78; Hitting - 792 runs (8th); Pitching - 4.34 ERA (6th); Fielding - .982 % (tie 10th)
The Knights' offense revolves around 2-time MVP Earl Jorgenson and Kinsella all-time RBI leader Jose Mondesi. B.C. Javier's production fell off badly last year and a comeback at age 36 is iffy. Charlotte will likely need a better solution at 1B/DH - and some big seasons from other position players - to contend again. The Knights tend to use a rotation-by-committee aproach - 7 pitchers got more than 10 starts last year. Of those Warren Justice (13-9, 3.42), Banana Klein (9-7, 3.97) and Sven Barclay (9-13, 4.87) seem most capable of breakout seasons. The late innings are in good hands with closer Ruben Sierra (no, not the village idiot - this one was a perfect 23-for-23 in save ops last year with a stunning 5.16 OPS against) and workhorse setup man Turner Mordecai (9 wins, 7 saves, 3.18 ERA in 153 innings).
TEXAS RANGERS: Season 10 Record - 69-93; Hitting - 883 runs (3rd); Pitching - 5.16 ERA (16th); Fielding - .987 % (tie 2nd)
The Ranger staff got off to a terrible start last year and never recovered, prompting the big Marraro/Fonville trade that netted prospects Sherman Cunningham, Harry Uribe and Justin Hitchcock plus pitcher Hades Ritchie. All are currently in AAA but could see big-league duty this season. Other new faces include FA's Carlos Solano (RP), Julio Romero (LR) and Vin Klaus (RF), plus rookie 2B Ivan Prince. Offensively, the main run production duties will fall to 1B Wolf Douglas and DH Chris Grimsley. Sherry Pierre anchors a pitching staff that, while it has some holes, could see a big improvement - Buck Barry and Branch Crosby especially.
OUTLOOK
The Rays don't look any less dominant than last year - they have to be the preseason favorite. The Royals could well get the pitching improvement needed to close last year's 16-game gap...maybe even enough to make it a race. The Knights are a wild card - a couple of career seasons and good breaks and they could be in the tournament again, or a few bad bounces and they could be considering selling veterans. It's not impossible to see Texas contending, but in all likelihood they'll shoot for gathering up some more young talent. Don't hold your breath waiting for a Sherry Pierre trade but don't be surprised if Texas moves him for an impressive bundle of prospects either. I'm predicting the Rays win it again, with the Royals finishing just 5 back. Charlotte will battle Detroit for the last wild card (it's a Carson Graves "on" year, remember), and I think they'll take it, giving the South 3 playoff teams for the second straight year.

C - Bob Riggs the offensive C
C - Casey Larkin the defensive C
1B - Hersh Taylor 159 RBI...'nuff said

All-Decade Team: Center Field
Gold Glove caliber defensive ability combined with superior offensive skills made the difference in the election of Damian Chen to the all-decade team over the more offense, weaker defense of Frank Jorgensen. Voting scores are as follows (19 votes):
Damian Chen (12) - 75 pts
Frank Jorgensen (6) - 53 pts
Cliff Rivers (1) - 35 pts
Shea Keefe - 5
Robert Jefferson - 3
All-Decade Team: Left Field
After having been one of the major offensive forces for the 2-time World Champion Phillies, Del Wilhelm was the clear choice for left field, well ahead of the all-time home run king, Orber Julio, and big hitter, Arthur Boggs. The voting scores were as follows (19 votes cast):
Del Wilhelm (14) - 79 pts
Orber Julio (3) - 42 pts
Arthur Boggs (1) - 37 pts
Julio Martin - 7 pts
Harry Reid (1) - 6 pts
All-Decade Team: Shortstop
Despite only playing the position for three seasons in the decade, Kinsella's first HOF inductee, Jake Clapp, was the overwhelming choice to be the shortstop for the All-Decade team. His three monster seasons at the plate, while also doing a fine job at the most important defensive position, were enough to distance himself from the other candidates. The final vote scoring was as follows (19 total votes):
Jake Clapp (17) - 91 pts
Danny Alexander (1) - 55 pts
Willie Edmonds (1) - 14 pts
Richard Ishii - 7 pts
Sidney Cannon - 4 pts
