What would you love to happen in 2013 for the Sox that you completely don't expect?

 

(One Caveat: Your answer can't be "Winning the Division")

 

Mine? Gavin Floyd has a GREAT season. 2008-like...

Considering that he hit .270 during his awesome rookie year, .310 would be shocking!

Average 30k a game.

No b****ing about attendance in PHT threads.

Chris Beck goes back to his Top 10 draft pick status.

Some of what I can see... (13 for 2013)

 

1. Dayan Viciedo improves, hits 35 homers and raises his avg.

 

2. Jose Quintana shows that 2012 wasn't a fluke and repeats his stellar performance.

 

3. Alejandro De Aza swipes 30 bases.

 

4. Chris Sale repeats his 2012.

 

5. Rios repeats his 2012.

 

6. Dunn shows that 2011 was an abberation by hitting another 40 homers.

 

7. Simon Castro somehow gets called up because someone got injured, and ends up being Quintana 2.0.

 

8. Courtney Hawkins hits 25 homers in the minors.

 

9. Keon Barnum hits 15 homers in the minors.

 

10. Tracee Robinson improves his average while continuing his ability as a potential 20-20 guy in the minors.

 

11. Jared Mitchell finally gets over his injury and improves his average, steals 25 bases, and hits 10 home runs along with a high obp in the minors.

 

12. Marcus Semien shows that his 2012 minor league season wasn't a fluke and people start seeing him as the next 2nd baseman in a post-Beckham White Sox.

 

13. Donnie Veal ends up being the White Sox closer and racks up 20 saves after Addisson Reed has 4 consecutive blown saves.

14. White Sox permanently change their uniforms to the 1983 uniforms in honor of the team.

75 starts between Danks, Quintana, and Santiago

Trayce Thompson maybe?

No I believe he is thinking of Smokey Robinson

If he made those numbers, it would be a miracle.

One of our minor league centerfielders plays so well that they just can't keep on the farm, then maintains it at the big league level.

Realistically, Tyler Flowers. Pipe dream, Gordon Beckham.

Beckham MVP

 

Mitchell tears up the minors.
