White Sox confident they can surprise in 2012 | whitesox.com: News

I hope they prove us all wrong and play a hell of a season!

67-95 sounds about perfect. No closer because KW is a complete idiot. Crap rotation

almost everyone has something to prove. More than 75 W...maybe more.

Its the same rotation as last year sans Buehrle.

That is kind of a ignorant statement. Lets Review.

Bad Contracts:
Alex Rios

Not the best Contracts:
Jake Peavy, Im sure you know since you are so so intelligent that most of his contract is covered by an insurance policy, you know that right?

Trading The Following:
Daniel Hudson- Cy Hudson is a middle of the rotation guy in the AL, and in a year where they were contending, flipping him for Ejax to flip ejax for Dunn was very very smart thinking. Dunn didnt happen so you got a descent pitcher back which lead to a 6 man rotation that saved buehrles ass last year.

sergio santos- uh oh, rivera got dealt haha....closers arent a premium.

Signings:
Adam Dunn- Please find someone who thought signing him was a bad thing. We were complaining about a left handed bat after thome left (thome leaving was ozzies choice by the way per "the club"). Now lets say hypothetically Dunn gets traded tomorrow, goes on to hit 40 bombs, I bet you complain than about KW trading him away. you know im right.

Shall I go on....?

I don't see why people think this team is so bad and just destined for last place.

Questions on the team, but all the big boys in the AL have holes and questions. And its almost the same team as last year except Pierre, Quentin, Buerhle, Vizquel and Santos.

I think they'll contend for the division.

Cleveland will be good I believe and for some reason I have them being the hardest to beat.

Detroit will have to score a lot of runs for 2 reasons. Starting pitching is questionable, and their infield is going to be brutal!

I honestly believe this White Sox team can win the division.

Now that college basketball is over, I'll soak in this championship until Opening Day and be ready for the Sox! Hope they come out firing on all cylinders and take the AL by surprise!

ND sucks...so ya better get usto long stretches of mediocrity.

:wink:

I also think, if Cleveland can stay healthy, they'll be in it.

Detroit was carried by Verlander last year and I'm not sure who else they got in their rotation, but I think I read a 22 year old lefty. Those guys messed up up lat year though..

I agree that this team isn't destined for last place, but why is the bolded a good thing? Those are some pretty talented players gone from a team that finished in 3rd place with a 79-83. You can talk about rebound years from a lot of guys, but that is the kind of talk we have to hold onto in the north.

Quentin's production will be missed, but he's averaged missing 50 games the last three years. Can't really argue Santos, a little erratic, but he'll be missed.

Pierre, Buehrle and Vizquel are another story.

closers arent a premium but with that said he is really the only loss.

These. :clap:

I think Santiago or Reed could both do a great job as a closer. I think the Sox can seriously contend IF a lot of things go right.

If things don't go right, they're bottom of the division.

 

[DewsSox79]

did they name a closer yet?

Not yet.
