greg775 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Folks ... instead of just saying we'll win between 40 and 50 games I have a question that could be answered optimistically or pessimistically. Is DeJong the key to our beloved White Sox season? Do any of you think the former Illinois State player will hit and field better than expected? Could he be the key to a turnaround? Is Paul DeJong destined to make fans as happy as if they sampled a bong? I saw he hit three early dingers in spring training. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 As DeJong goes, goes the Sox? I guess he is going to suck and so are the Sox so this definitely isn't the worst thread greg has made. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) I’m not sure what’s funnier, the original post or the replies. I’m still laughing. Greg has to be a top secret undercover troll, right? Edited March 22 by WhiteSox2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I honestly expect around a .200-220 AVG with around 15 HR’s from him. He’s not good anymore but I think playing in Sox Park is gonna help him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Didn't mean to offend, just thought I'd start a thread that was moderately positive, wondering if this guy actually had a great year the Sox might be a tad bit better than I expect them to be which is 40-50 wins. I went with DeJong cause I don't think our catchers will surprise and the new RF candidates appear to reek. There has to be something positive about this wretched club. I wondered if it might be DeJong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if it might be DeJong. I think that .230/.300/.425 is his absolute ceiling. Good defense could have him at about 1 bWAR by the trading deadline. That's his absolute ceiling. Dude would have to rake like a snake to change any trajectory. But I think if he could realize his first half of his 2023, he could buoy the infield, and not totally sink our offense. I mean, the propellor heads fall in love with the .180/.320/450 guys like they are the key to life if they could hit 30 HRs. They're not. However, if Dominic Fletcher turns into a hitting, fielding kid, Andrew Vaughn finds his prospect, Yoan and Eloy stay well, Nicky Two-Eighty stays there, Fedde and Flexen get through 6, the bullpen maintains, Soroka finds his prior self, you might just have a team....... that gets traded off at the deadline. Which would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 DeJong is not the key to the season, he's one of the keys to the season. If DeJong and everybody else stays healthy this team will win alot of games. I realize I'm one of the few who feel this way but that's how I feel. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilehoopster Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Well, Dejong is NOT going to embarrass the White Sox and us fans by . . . . Repeatedly get suspended by the league Act like a bad ass then get knocked on his butt in a fight Slap a teammate be disliked by his teammates to the point that no one cheers when it's announced he make the all-star team make us watch and wait as an opponent checks and overturns a double play because he missed stepping on 2nd base . . again have countless errors repeatedly get picked off base Dejong is not going to be Tim - building my brand means more than wins - Anderson. For that reason alone, I expect the Sox to be better, maybe only slightly better, but better. But they will be significantly easier to watch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
