December 30, 20178 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 30, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) Yeah I totally read this and thought "what's so hard about spelling first base"? 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.
December 30, 20178 yr QUOTE (WBWSF @ Dec 29, 2017 -> 06:11 PM) Looks like another season "Mired in Mediocrity". Going on 12 years in a row... But I see the light!
January 1, 20188 yr 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.
January 29, 20188 yr 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/

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.
January 29, 20188 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 11:23 AM) No question, but Detroit and KC are awful, and they play a lot of games against them. Anything can happen playing head to head.
January 29, 20188 yr 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.
January 29, 20188 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 11:25 AM) Anything can happen playing head to head. 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.

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
