I am just observing year four of signing bottom tier free agents with the intention of flipping them, a suspect pitching staff, and a young and unproven lineup.  You are free to believe that they are gonna be a lot better.  I don’t

It's the same old, is the glass half empty or half full puzzle.  I'm just suggesting it's more fun to buy into the idea that the glass is filling quickly.

I saw an article on my phone yesterday that was interesting. It listed the 5 teams most likely to have a breakout season, They were

 

Braves

Orioles

Pirates

Sox

Cubs

It didn't say anything we already didn't know, but it did predict a 10 game increase in Wins. The Pirates should be interesting this year.

maybe you imagined it

last season and this season I've come across the A's being one of those teams

breakout is a vague description, they way injuries are sports is very hard to predict

The Sox and many other teams lack depth when it comes to injuries.

It's the time of year where people can dream, and I miss being that guy! Seriously.

Although having expectations usually means more disappointment, so id rather be surprised. I'm thinking this team is more likely to lose 100 than they are to win even 70.

I miss being that guy too.  I wish this organization didn’t revert to whatever this is, but it’s been an unpleasant stretch for sure

Absolutely.   One more, "Baby, I can change!  This times it's different! " just isn't enough anymore.

You give me an 80 win team and I'll best-case-scenario my way to 92 wins in a heart beat. You give me a 63 win team and I cant take you seriously or waste my time investing the time into watching.

I joined this board to discuss White Sox prospects when the system was headlined by Daniel Hudson, Jared Mitchell and Tyler Flowers.

They had to beat the optimism out of me.

bottom tier free agents? how do the white sox signings compare to every other team in the AL central?
