Bell curve is starting to form nicely.

I went with 76-81. Not that I think its plausible but more so voted so on the off chance it happens I can say "I told you so" to everyone.

I think they're that bad that they might lose 110 anyway despite the fact the ALC is ass. 

Completely agree.

7 wins.

You know, 7 wins a month would get them between 40 and 50 wins...and unfortunately I could see that happening. 

This is a good time to remind everyone that great seats are still available.

56-61 for me. I don't think some people have caught on to the new schedule quite yet. We're going to get beat up by the West and East and the Central too, to be fair. 

68 wins.

Yeah, this isn't like how it was 2 years ago. We play our shitty division less.

Seats are available. Having something of quality to watch makes a difference.

63-99. Dramatic 9th inning comeback in the last game to avoid losing 100.

Eh, the Cuban Comet sandwich will get me to 1-2 games a year no matter how much they suck.

I think you have to go under at 61 simply because if they're on pace for 70 wins it means someone is performing and we'll trade them at the first opportunity.

I was going to pick under 61 for the very reason you have. However I picked the one just above which seems to be where the majority is voting, just because I choose to hope that Getz Salvage Yard turns a profit.

We buy and sell your junk .

The division isn't good enough for that to happen. If they were in the AL East or West, then yeah I could see that.

It’s a balanced schedule now as opposed to pre-2023.

They could easily lose that many games.

70-92 because I think this bunch will care more than most of the stiffs that populated the roster in 2023.

It's a lot of the same stiffs, though  - Moncada, Eloy, Benintendi, Vaughn. Half the lineup is still the same hurt, underachieving crew.

I think Vaughn cares, Benintendi will be better because his wrist has healed, Moncada has never cared and Eloy is Eloy.

Unless positive changes happen midseason, I really think 35-40 wins is our max for this year.    Its not possible for a team with no hitting, no pitching, and the worst manager in the history of baseball to do any better.

79

82-85 feels about right.  We will win the division with that rather pedestrian win total.  Looks like a scrappy bunch that will play fundamentally sound baseball.  Good depth on the bench and at Charlotte.  If Robert, Moncada, and Eloy live up to potential...we win the Central with ease.  Both Vaughn and Sheets will look much improved I predict.  Pitching is always a question but Soroka, Fedede, and Crocket have potential to be very good.  Bullpen looks serviceable and I think the addition of Matt Wise and Bannister might pay dividends.  Much improved defense up the middle should help the entire staff look better.  The new coaches and veterans will add to a renewed spirit of comradery IMO. Anxious for OD and an entertaining season ahead.

62

Voted 62-70 wins.

My final prediction is 66-96.

Everyone’s vote is visible. 62 people or bots have voted with less than 70 hours left in the poll (closes before scheduled first pitch on Opening Day) for those who wish to have a public record of their 2024 White Sox Win Total Range Prediction.

I'm glad you feel this way. I agree with you. I think its going to be a great 2024 season for the White Sox.

Part of me feels this could be like 2012.  No expectations and a team that responds well to a huge shake up.

I honestly think it's anywhere from 68 wins to 85 wins.

Were still playing 52 games against 4 other teams who really aren't good at all, that's not even counting the other lousy teams around the league we play as well.

At least three of those teams are significantly better.

i don’t think they win 20 games against the Central.  Close to 20.

Moncada is playing for a contract. He might want to care.
