January 10, 201610 yr http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/14521668...american-league AL predictions by team... Among others, Cleveland to win the division, Miguel Sano the AL home run crown (over Trout and Machado) and Buxton/Berrios to fight it out for Rookie of the Year. There was another article predicting Lawrie would be a surprise offensive breakout candidate and hit 20+ homers. http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/i...itters-for-2016 Sano and Soler the top two picks. Lawrie at bottom in honorable mention with Trumbo. Edited January 10, 201610 yr by caulfield12
January 10, 201610 yr It is far from bold to say the White Sox's starting pitching staff will be the club's strength in 2016, so we will ramp that up a notch by predicting that the rotation turns into one of the American League's best. Too bad the Sox starting staff had the highest fWAR in the AL last year...
January 10, 201610 yr ESPN forgot to add Avisail Garcia to the breakout list. Must have been an error of some sort. Edited January 10, 201610 yr by BlackSox13
January 10, 201610 yr Author QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 09:21 AM) Too bad the Sox starting staff had the highest fWAR in the AL last year... That was the most generic or boring prediction of all due to Padilla. Pretty much all the others mentioned specific players...at least they could have mentioned Rodon or projected improvement from Johnson vs. Samardzija, etc.
January 10, 201610 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 10:05 AM) Wasn't Cleveland suppose to win the division last year? The World Series, actually, according to SI
