February 14, 200818 yr Gavin Floyd won't make the team out of spring training and gets claimed off waivers by Baltimore. Joe Crede will get traded to San Fran for scraps. The White Sox will lead the AL in striking out
February 14, 200818 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 05:00 PM) My prediction: BearSox will be ALL OVER this thread. Prediction: BearSox will say Ryan Sweeney AL MVP A's more wins that White Sox Unable to trade his farm system, KW will trade somebody else's for them
February 14, 200818 yr Best bullpen in the AL Back end of the rotation keeps us out of the playoffs. That's all I got.
February 14, 200818 yr Ozzie Guillen or Kenny Williams gets fired in 2008. There's a bold prediction for you. Edited February 14, 200818 yr by WilliamTell
February 14, 200818 yr Contreras will win 17 games and CPOY Sox finish 3 games out of the wild card. Josh Fields starts in LF, Crede at 3B.
February 14, 200818 yr Sox win the division after Cleveland falls into Lake Erie and Detroit burns to the ground. The team then rides the high all the way to the World Series where they are swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
February 14, 200818 yr On a player level, Jon Danks throws three perfect games in a row and baseball officials discover he's just a figment of Kenny Williams' imagination. The Sox organization is fined an undisclosed amount after promoting "No Pants" Mondays.
February 14, 200818 yr Positive: Because of his defense, Owens starts - and finishes - the year as the starting CF. Negative: Both Contreras and Floyd are out of the rotation by June 1. Edited February 14, 200818 yr by FlaCWS
February 14, 200818 yr Gavin Floyd will be our 2nd best starting pitcher this year. Orlando Cabrera will disappoint. Edited February 14, 200818 yr by Balta1701
February 14, 200818 yr MB, Javy are the only decent starters until Charlie Haeger joins the rotation. Despite Charlie's best effort the Sox win less games than last year and KW goes on suicide/insanity watch after trying to sell his soul to Billy Beane. The White Sox draft another pitcher in 2008.
February 14, 200818 yr Realistically, Cabrera does exceedingly well and wins his second Gold Glove, Buehrle wins 18 games, and Joe Crede starts at third 120 times.
February 14, 200818 yr Soxtalk posters continue to be masters of pointing out "why we suck" while completely failing to rationally note how every single other team also sucks, because that doesn't affect them emotionally. Gavin Floyd wins 14.
February 14, 200818 yr Juan Uribe gains another 50 pounds, goes 3 for 30 in the months of April and May with 3 HRs and 27 Ks, and eventually quits the team to open his own Chinese restaurant called "Juan-ton's".
February 15, 200818 yr Ok, I will be the shiny happy person for now. The Sox will make the playoffs and surprise many. Quentin and Swisher provide the spark that the Sox were looking for. Thome has a good season, and Ozzie rests him accordingly to keep the stress off of him the outfield competition is better than expected and Ozzie starts using the hot hand correctly, Swisher ends up being the starting centerfielder, but Owens sees plenty of time in defensive switches and late inning pinch running. Cabrera has a solid year, not spectacular, but gets the job done. Crede gets traded, Fields has a great offensive season in his replacement, but has an average year fielding. Pierzynski and Konerko hit closer to their career averages than last year Vazquez steps up as the team ace, Contreras wins 13, Buehrle 16-18 range, with Danks and Floyd winning 10 and 11 respectively. The bullpen is lockdown when healthy, but has a few health scares with Dotel. Jenks saves 40+ Flame on
February 15, 200818 yr The Sox miss the wild card by one game as Mullet night turns into Mullet Demolition Night and over 250 Mullet coifed Sox fans run onto the field with hair blazing while "Shout at the Devil" blares from the PA system causing the Sox to forfeit the second game of a KC double header make-up game. Phillip Seymour Hoffman plays Hawk in the movie.
