witesoxfan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think the true talent of last year's team, prior to blowing it up, was around a 72-75 win team. With the additions made, I see no reason they can't hit 77-82 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harfman77 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think this team was much better last year than their record and I think they have improved since then. I think they look like a .500 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeynach Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The line opened at most sports books in Vegas at 77, most sites have it now anywhere between 76 and 77 wins. And when you make a poll for over/unders you should always use the hook man, the 0.5, so that you cant have ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm going to guess 79-83. I love the talented youth the Sox have but there's most likely going to some growing pains so I think they'll fall just shy of 500. Â Would be 69-93 had the Sox signed Ervin Santana.

nickofypres Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Expecting 72-90. But the Sox are goofy, so if they won 80+ that wouldn't shock me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I will say 81 wins minimum, with a small chance of pushing for the second wild card spot. Offensively, I'm very optimistic about Abreu, Eaton, & Viciedo. Obviously the offense is still flawed with a black hole at catcher and a lack of OBP throughout the lineup, but I do expect it to be much better than last year, especially if Abreu is anything close to an impact player. Â As for the pitching, I'm fully expecting a rebound from Danks and for Johnson to pitch like a legitimate #3 starter and not go through serious growing pains. I honestly think the rotation will keep us in the thick of things for most of the season, but the offense will ultimately let us down. Still, a fringe competitive team will much more fun to watch than last year's mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I think they'll be in the Wild Card race until the last 3 or so weeks of the season. Over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 73-89 Â Maybe about 47-53 after 100 games, but not good enough to try to make a run. Then they'll trade a couple more players and finish pretty bad again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I think they will win between 72-77 games. I want to see big years out of the young new core. The White Sox have a lot of trade pieces though and that actually really excites me. Alexei Ramirez, Gordon Beckham, Adam Dunn, John Danks, Mitchell Boggs, Ronald Belisario, Matt Lindstrom, Nate Jones, and Scott Downs are all guys that could be moved to further enhance the system throughout the year. Pretty exciting possibility actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
