I started trying to get my hopes up about the window opening in 2018 and the team competing this year. THen I saw the 4 outfielders on the 25-man.

 

I'll go with 72-90.

My guess is probably 79, especially if a lot of the young talent is brought up.

How do you think the Sox will fare in the other 16 games they will play?

 

He was picked a poll total from the columns above.

78 wins, 3rd in division.

90 wins, win the 2nd WC

same. offense will be average or slightly better. starting pitching will be bad. bullpen will be solid.

I actually expect the offense to be pretty good and progress over time...Also Eloy up late in the year should be fun

 

Starting pitching will be below average...Shields is awful but hopefully decent and dealt...Gio should be the bright spot and Lopez should pitch well over time

 

Santiago and MiGo both will be solid

 

This is make or break for Fulmer's career as a starter, I think he'll struggle early but eventually shine

 

Oh and don't forget Rodon back in May/June

 

The bullpen will make or break this team it seems, I expect Jones and Avilan to pitch themselves onto the 2019 roster (as opposed to dealt) and hopefully Soria good enough to deal

 

I expect Bummer to improve a lot from '17

Too late to change my answer to 99?
