Balta1701 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 As I usually do, I'll pick mid-90's wins and the division. Comeback seasons from Peavy and Quentin would make this team run away with things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 08:44 AM) For some reason, I think Quentin is going to have huge, comeback year. Peavy will come back, but as dominant a pitcher he once was. Morel will thrive as the starting third baseman. Lastings Milledge will be the same, immature person he's always been and be released in Spring Training. Chris Sale will be the closer. Dunn will hit 46 HR, just shy of Belle's team record. Seriously, what the f***? Why does everyone think he's this piece of s*** scumbag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing with the fight is clearly started by the other team. I swear, people think Lastings Milledge = Delmon Young.

The other thing with the fight is clearly started by the other team. I swear, people think Lastings Milledge = Delmon Young. I have definitely read that he's been seen as immature professionally, and not willing to make a full effort. But I agree with you that people seem to be extending that further than there is any real indication of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 30, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) bump too!! For the record, NO ONE picked the Sox under 85 wins, and only one pick was made for third place or lower (3rd). And to pile on for the haters, Greg pretty much was the closest to right.

knightni Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Everything that I predicted went totally the opposite way. QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) Sox win 94 games; eke out division title. Lose in ALDS in 4 to Angels. Dunn .230 33 HR 103 RBI Thornton leads team in saves Sox forced to make Sale a starter in May after AAA fodder blow up in every start, then he goes back to the bullpen by late June when ... Peavy comes back, is average for a 5th starter but not an ace the whole season - 4.50 era 9 wins 120k Cooper leaves in the offseason Buehrle re-signs for 3 years at 8 mil per Sox shop Danks and DFA Teahen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
