Lol. 2006-2012 were very solid/competitive seasons compared to what came after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably going to be 6 to 9 wins per 27 all season. 45 wins sounds about right. Ah..............but wait till the trade dead(again)line. Brenetindi will be traded, Robert probably will too. Not sure how CF will turn out. All for lottery chances for a team that still can't draft/develop position players. He maybe they'll get a decent pitching prospect to eventually flip for more failed position players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Thome put up 12.1 WAR with the White Sox from 2006-2009 (3.5 seasons). Rowand, who was down to about 100 games in 2010-2011, put up a 8.1 WAR from 2006-2009 (six seasons). Rowand had a whopping 1.1 WAR in the two remaining seasons he played after Thome departed the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took for granted being in division races pretty much every 2 out of 3 seasons or so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that Roberts is negative WAR with a .542 OPS one sixth of the way through the season trading him may be addition by subtraction.

We took for granted being in division races pretty much every 2 out of 3 seasons or so. I'm more upset about 2011. Opening day Dunn hit a home run and had a big game and my dad was pretty happy and we were looking forward to a fun season. He died the next day. I guess I'm glad he saw the high point. They were still in it late in the season. I'm not sure Ozzie didn't throw the season. I remember him pinch hitting Dunn, a guy batting like .160, in an important game against the Tigers. Everyone knew having the bat boy pinch hit would have been a better option. Dunn whiffed on three pitches. (To his credit he didn't quit and had a decent rebound season in 2012 and was even an all star.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Meidroth, Quero, Baldwin, Shane Smith, Davis Martin And Cannon are on the team now. Elko should be up this year. Teel, Braden Montgomery, Noah Schultz, Hagen Smith and Grant Taylor will probably be on the team next year. It looks to me that the team will start to be alot better next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a ten game improvement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) White Sox ahead of 6 teams (see you Balt) and tied with another for RS/RA differential. Unfortunately this year just bad enough to lose a lot of pretty close/competitive games due to bullpen RISP and general lack of Xb pop. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2025/04/28/mlb-power-rankings-rockies-worst-record/83317549007/ MLB power rankings: Historically bad Rockies finally unseat the worst team ever Edited April 28 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
