Swisher will lead the AL in OBP, OPS and RBI :lol:

162-0.

Jerry Owens is more than a 4th outfielder and is now seen as a leadoff man

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

Best bullpen in the AL

 

Back end of the rotation keeps us out of the playoffs.

 

That's all I got.

Octavio Dotel will lead the team in saves

Brian Anderson will be a pleasant surprise. Maybe not for the White Sox.

Ozzie Guillen or Kenny Williams gets fired in 2008. There's a bold prediction for you.

Edited by WilliamTell

Contreras will win 17 games and CPOY

 

Sox finish 3 games out of the wild card.

 

Josh Fields starts in LF, Crede at 3B.

 

 

Mark throws not only a no hitter but a perfect game.

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.

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.

 

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.

Gavin Floyd will be our 2nd best starting pitcher this year.

 

Orlando Cabrera will disappoint.

Edited by Balta1701

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.

Realistically, Cabrera does exceedingly well and wins his second Gold Glove, Buehrle wins 18 games, and Joe Crede starts at third 120 times.

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.

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".

The White Sox will have more than 10 pitchers start a game this season.

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

 

 

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.

 

:headbang

somebody will learn how to bunt
