2017 White Sox prediction thread

Okay, who voted less than 54? That would make for a great pick, but even the 2012 Cubs won 61 games.

[Dick Allen 3,474]

He has a .488 OBP and his OPS is 1.070.

Which isn't top 100 in the NCAA.

I am interested in seeing how I react. I've paid close attention to every season for a long time. But losing game after game is probably going to be the end of my fandom unless I somehow consider all the losing comical.

 

Since I'm not a draft guy, I don't trust our front office to draft the right guys so I don't care about the draft at all. I do have mlb.com again cause I forgot to cancel the automatic recharging. I do know I hate losing and I am expecting 110 or more losses.

 

The team has made the playoffs once in 11 seasons, none in the past 8. If you are still a fan now, why would a few more years of losing change anything?

Exactly. We had a 63 win season in there! 63 wins. And for what?

Well, to be fair, Rodon.

Touche. However, the only way to make Rodon even meaningful is to rebuild something different and more effective.

I'm going with 70 wins. However if they trade Q early in the season then we're looking at somewhere in the mid to low 60's.

I'll go with 68 wins. If we do somehow win 75+ hopefully it's because Moncada/Giolito/Lopez/Burdi/Abreu/Anderson/Rodon/Frazier/Quintana are vastly exceeding expectations and not because we got some run differential luck.

67 or 68

 

They overperformed. Overall, it was a good year for the rebuild.

Dude - fantastic call. I hope you end up -1 on that guess thou

[southsider2k5 5,736]

69, just because.

 

I am feeling pretty good about this.

[BlackSox13 401]

Looks like I had picked the 68-71 range. Pretty close, I'll take it.

[flavum 947]

I said 65-97, and I should have been right, dammit!
