(and he also may look like a great signing through end of april) Just like White Sox legend Jimmy Rollins I see a similar path for Harrison
March 22, 20223 yr 4 minutes ago, Squirmin' for Yermin said: 1. Josh Harrison is cut by July 15 2. Vince Velasquez doesn't make it past April 3. Cease leads our team in cy young votes. 4. Kopech leads our starters in ERA/FIP (just doesn't have a ton of innings) 5. Abreu has under 100 RBI 6. Vaughn bats .280/25/90 7. Eloy bats .300/40/100 8. Moncada continues doing what we've seen. Not a difference maker but good player. 9. Conforto is on the white sox and slashes .270/30/80 10. Sox win 100 games, go to the world series and lose to Dodgers 11. Romy has a 2.5 WAR season, but doesn't start until Harrison gets cut in July. Some of these don't seem particularly bold. #8? C'mon man, push it a little bit.

March 22, 20223 yr Giolito wins Cy Young; Cease finishes top 5. Moncada and Robert combine for 50 SB Eloy continues to be the player he was after returning from injury in 2021. Robert hits 40+ HR Moncada hits 20+ HR Hendriks' gopher ball problem gets worse Graveman sucks and reminds everyone of Scott Linebrink. Kelly never gets completely healthy. Kimbrel stays on the team all season and is dominant for stretches, but completely sucks for a month, dragging his entire season stats down. Keuchel is DFA in June, leading to Velasquez starting games. There is a 5th starter hole the entire season. Sox are unable to fill it because their minors suck. Josh Harrison puts up more WAR than Madrigal. Edited March 22, 20223 yr by Jack Parkman

March 22, 20223 yr Robert wins both regular season and World Series MVP Edited March 22, 20223 yr by ScooterMcGee
March 22, 20223 yr Kimbrel will be traded at the trade deadline to the Mariners for LHP Ryan Buchter and Billy Hamilton.

March 22, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, Quin said: Eloy was traded. Ha, yeah that's good. Otherwise the bold prediction is the white sox, who've had the worst approach to an offseason I could fathom, won a trade with the Rays.
March 22, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, RibbieRubarb said: No matter how well the White Sox play...Soxtalk will complain. This is about as bold as calling Michael Jordan arrogant.
March 22, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, Buehrle>Wood said: Is Micker becoming a good contributor even bold at this point? If not, then that If this is bold, I am going to the opposite end and predict he clears waivers at the end of spring and goes back to Charlotte.
March 22, 20223 yr White Sox sign Michael Conforto to a 4 year $80M deal with an opt out after year 2 and 3 before Opening Day. Eloy Jimenez hits 50 home runs. Michael Kopech is fucking stud and has an ERA and FIP below 3.25.
March 22, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, fathom said: Nick Madrigal hits more homers than Josh Harrison Is zero more than the sum of itself? ?

March 22, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: That is really, really bold. It's wishful thinking — I believe he is the only White Sox player remaining (Engel and Lopez settled) as arbitration eligible. We've seen a couple extensions across the league this week. I don't think and never did think we're signing Conforto, so maybe, just maybe, they're working on something with Giolito to make this offseason at least somewhat redeemable
