  1. I got bored so I decided to take stats from some World Series winners, and play with them. First I determined the "core" players. (Players that played nearly every game, or were main part of team when not injured) Then I averaged all of the core players' stats to get a typical winning player's statistics.

     

    .282

     

    18 HR

     

    82 RBI

     

    .352 OBP

     

    .452 SLG

     

    12 SB

  2. Garland does not have the ability to win 20 games.  To win 20 games you have to be consistent, and he's never shown the ability to do so in his entire career.  He's got decent stuff, but doesn't have what it takes between the ears.  If the RJ trade still might go through, the Sox should jump at the chance to give away Garland for either RJ or Vasquez, just so long as they don't give up too much else.

    im talking physical ability here. he has good stuff, and his good stuff could win him 20 games

  3. one thing the white sox dont have that some other teams have (see the cubs) is the coolness of going to the game. going to a white sox game isnt considered "cool." even when the cubs suck, its still the cool thing to do to go to the game and get drunk

  4. Shouldn't that be in green. BUT, mark my words, if I am wrong and Garland does win 20 games and take us to the World Series, I will give you 20 dollars.

    I like making bold predictions, and i think that garland has the ability to win 20 games (dont get me wrong he may win 11 games and continue to be the most hated man in our rotation)

  5. I'm shocked that Garland's biggest fans on this board only have him penciled in for 12-13 wins.

     

    MB: 20

    FG: 17

    JC: 15

    JG: 14 :P

    OH:11

    Hell I hate the guy but I think if he steps it up this year he will have 20+ wins. If that happens, and everyone else works up to expectations, we'll go to the playoffs

  6. Buehrle - 21 wins

    Garcia - 18 wins

    Garland - 20 wins (something he's completely capable of)

    Contreras - 13 wins

    El Duque - 11 wins (he wont get very many starts, ebing in the fifth spot)

     

    83 wins by our starting rotation, call me crazy but garland could surprise us all this year, and could be the missing link that will bring us to the world series
