Kid Gleason Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 QUOTE(TheOcho @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 08:46 PM) Thank goodness Spring Training isn't a good indication. Correct me if I am wrong but weren't we just as bad in ST '05 and well... we all know how that turned out. I'm going to say 91 wins by the way. I was at the Milwaukee game at the end of Spring Training with The Critic. We both couldn't believe how bad they looked that night. We were hoping for something a little bit better than they had shown all ST that year, especially since the season was just about to kick off. They gave a little rally in the end of the game, but neither one of us left feeling all that great about the chances that year. Not at all.

The Ginger Kid Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 seriously, I have no clue. This lineup will score runs. The pitching....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCangelosi Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I agree it depends on Pods and Erstad at the top of the order. Very quietly Pods' average has dropped to a poultry .179 in ST- we're SOL if we're going to be taking the best 3-4-5 combo in the league with 2 outs and nobody on quite a bit... I still say, however, they'll win 96 games this year, because I think most people are over rating the Tigers as well as the Twins. The Tigers are not going to play as well this year, and neither are the Twins. I think the Indians will be better but none of these teams are unbeatable. Don't forget NO Francisco Liriano for the Twinkies this year either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'm thinking 91. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 93, which will be good enough to win a division that won't turn out quite as good as everybody thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palehose23 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I like to take the Starters wins and get the team's win and so... Jose Contreras 19 wins Jon Garland 19 wins Mark Buerhle 15 wins Javier Vazquez 15 wins John Danks 10 wins Bullpen/Other starters 14 wins 92 Wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 83, 4th place, and the possibility of having Buehrle and Dye flipped at the deadline. Anyone know of some grinders in the minors we can trade for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 There are still a couple major pieces up in the air - last bullpen spots, and starting CF. And those might make a significant difference. At least they picked the right 5h starter. So, giving some play for those open decisions, and assuming the team stays relatively healthy... 90 to 95. That will probably make the playoffs, but it will be hotly contested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I honestly have no idea. There are so many variables. I think it's all going to come down to pitching. Is the rotation going to perform more like '05 or '06? I wish I felt more confident as spring training is coming to a close. My gut tells me that we're looking at 85 wins. I hope my gut is being overly conservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 94. I think this team is closer than they are being given credit for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlled Chaos Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I've been drinking the black and white kool-aid all winter and although it's colorless, it packs a powerful punch and has left me with a vivid representation of the season to come.

RME JICO Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) Everyone should go back and read the archives from ST 2005. They are very similar in nature to this ST. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showforum=36 I hope the outcome of the season is similar as well.

heirdog Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 94 Win division by 2 over cleveland (92 wins). Minny 3rd (87) and Detroit 4th (82). Only Sox make playoffs from central Boston wins east (98 wins) and Yanks finish 2nd (95). Angels win west (88). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 93, Central Division Title, coming out of a tough three way race. Ozzie implodes, explodes, and serves a 10 game suspension. Crede is team MVP. Garland wins 20. New closer emerges. Two guys from AAA see major time in the starting rotation. Can I be any more definitive?

I was high on the team earlier, but I just don't feel it anymore. I don't have much faith in anyone on that pitching staff. 76.
