Let's see everyone's predictions for postertities sake.

How many games do the White Sox win in 2022.  How far do they go?

90-93. Pitching going to be thin until Lynn returns.

95-67, 2-seed, win the World Series

92, lose in 6 in the ALCS to Toronto

95.  Would've gone the next tier if Lynn was healthy and we hadn't lost Crochet

88 wins, lose in ALDS to Houston again. 

90 wins, Central champs again, 2-1 Wild Card win, out in 5 in the ALDS.  Lowered regular season expectations, hoping to be surprised.

92 w's, then our usual early exit in the playoffs (and I hope I'm wrong)

I feel like the present window is closing.

There are still injuries, they've gotten older, and they didn't improve player-wise from last season.

88 Wins in a bad division.

87 Wins in a bad division.

This logic lead to me saying 88 wins. Hopefully it's enough to win the division.

Chicagoans will debate which was the bigger disappointment, the 69 Cubs or the 22 Sox.

Isn't it nice to say usual exit IN the playoffs instead of going a decade between playoff appearances.

91-93. Lose in ALCS to Blue Jays. Hahn will call it "another step in our quest for a championship".

I will definitely take making the playoffs regularly over 10 to 15 year droughts again.  Even if I think a team has no shot to win it all.

99

I put them at 88-90.

That's how I voted too.  Injury & lack of depth possibly adding a few more losses than the talent should lose.  I still think they win the division, just not running away like last year.

82-80

91. Thanks to the lockout we already have 2 double headers on the schedule, and less off days in the early parts of the season to squeeze in make-up games due to bad weather cancellations. Looking at our lack of SP and RP depth (not to mention question marks on how many innings you're getting from Cease and Kopech each day), I think the extra double headers are going to really hurt this team. 

I am a blind Sox optimist: 78. I don't see anyone on this planet stopping these guys. Wait til you see Tony mastermind this pitching staff to perfection. We just need a couple more RH OFs. 

I'm guessing between 89-91 wins. I think we'll win a playoff series but not make the WS, but you never know. We have a really good bullpen and thats what it takes to win it all.

90. They will win the division although it will not be the cakewalk so many think it will be. What they will in the post-season is a mystery to me. Depends on what they at the trading deadline.

Everybody take note that Parkman predicted the Sox to win a playoff series.

162-0.

 

If yew don't believe this, yew ain't a Sox fan. You're a complainer and a whiner.

This offense is just too damn good!
