Vaughn wins ROY and I turn my $50 bet into $1,500 and all of SoxTalk that followed me will buy me a beer.

Madrigal bats over .340 and wins the GG at 2B

Moncada and Robert both go 30/30

Rodon has a career year pitching 191 innings with a 3.62 ERA / 2.66 FIP / 2.95 xFIP good for 5.6 fWAR and a K/9 of 9.44

Collins establishes himself as a better catcher than Yermin and the heir apparent to Grandal all the while batting .266/.385/.451 with 24 HR

And thus the Sox finish 120-42?

I was thinking more in the 95 range

Six Sox make the All-Star Game (which will not be played in Atlanta): Giolito, Bummer, Robert, Abreu, Moncada, and Anderson; with Anderson, Abreu, and Moncada starting and making a very White Sox AL starting infield. 

Eloy will return and have a home run before August 15th. But Engel and Eaton will be so solid, both in the field and batting, that Eloy will be made into a DH with some very rare playing in left field (but it will happen to make Eloy happy and when the Sox play an NL team and can't have a DH) And when a ball is hit his way, 60% of Sox fans watching at home will turn away from their TVs in horror and fear of what might happen. 

Vaughn will be very solid with his bat, but not good enough, to get an everyday spot in the line up due to Engel's ascension and raise tough decisions for Sox management this next winter. 

As solid as Eaton is next year, during his Minor League season, Yoelqui will leave no doubt that he is the starting RF for 2022. 

And finally, Avi Garcia will have a great year for Milwaukee so I can continue to come on here and b**** about the Sox releasing my favorite player and say "I told you so" to all the people who didn't want the Sox to pony up the $6 million measly dollars it would have taken to keep him here. And so I can tell all you A-HOLES who wanted him gone that I hope you burn in hell for all eternity. . . . . . Oh . . . . Sorry . . .  so sorry, that one just comes out of me every now and then. 

Where do you think the HRD/ASG are ultimately played? I saw someone propose Charlotte as an option

They'll win 95% of their games? That would be another unbreakable record, similar to Ripken's consecutive games played streak

The White Sox win the World Series. That's about as bold as you can get. Don't care too much about how they get there.

Giolito will break the single game strikeout record

Joc Pederson will be on this team before July 1

Man, I hope so

Obviously a few things would have to happen to make it come true, but I don't even know how bold it is. 

1. The Sox wanted Joc, and have for quite some time. Some reports out there that they wanted him to do a strict platoon with Engel which is why he didn't take the Sox offer (which was better than the Cubs)

2. I really don't know if Eaton is going to work out, and they only made a 1 year commitment to him. 

3. With Eloy out and Vaughn still a question mark (It's Opening Day, lol) both corner spots have openings. 

4. Unless the Cubs surprise everyone.....they will be selling sooner than later. 

Not sure how bold it is, but the Sox upgrade 2b by the deadline.

I think it's a long shot because they'll be good enough to contend but I want Semien back.

Here's bold for you: Sox acquire Javy Baez to play 2B at the deadline... Boom.

Did Eaton die?

Yes, White Sox OF’s are dropping left and right. Didn’t you see the in memory of segment for Eloy today?

You want BOLD. 

LaRussa resigns after the season, after resigning himself to only managing home games after the ASB
