Upon rereading it I thought I was making a sick burn initially as well. That said, likely one of Gillaspie or Davidson is on team so it’s not crucial.

FloydBannister1983 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 29, 2017 -> 10:47 PM) As long as you don't mind the 102-60 in 2020. Because my goal is to beat that, so I expect some people to be disappointed if that's all we do. I so wish there was a way I could take the under on that right now.

bmags Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The astros have a projected 35 more WAR on their roster than the white sox. *gulp* https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-zips-p...houston-astros/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having guys like Q, Frazier, Melky and company for the first three/four months of the season is going to be a blow to this group.

No question, but Detroit and KC are awful, and they play a lot of games against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I do think the recent moves make us more likely to be above KC. Our bullpen will not be as bad as our initial zips, KC's will be a little worse. But using astros more as illustrative of how much talent the top teams have accumulated. I think we used to say 40 was playoff team, now its more like 45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but you aren't going to have 3 near 100 loss teams in the same division. Maybe they will all cancel each other out and be better record-wise than anticipated, but at least one of these teams is going to have a surprisingly good record IMO and not because of talent level.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The Sox are going to finish 3rd in the Central. At the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone who has seen how these turn out give that in terms of a "Projected record"? If this team does that...they're likely what, a 55 win team? So that's our starting point and anything beyond that is more improvement than expected? Welp, we ended up with 17.6! Wheeeeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
