Sox suck. End this thread.

I hear this a lot. Mostly from B&B worrying about grindy or religious guys. Maybe it is because I am out of town but I do not recall one Sox clubhouse problem the last year or two. Maybe Cooper and shark but did I miss a giant problem?

I don't think they will win 90, but 82-85 sounds about right. Just good enough to be "in it," but never really good enough to be a true contender.


Agreed but I'd go with 81-86.
3 legit starters means they **could** compete, but any lineup featuring every day play of Adam LaRoche is underwhelming.

There is no chance in hell they finish higher than 3rd in their division. I really miss being excited about my team.

Saying no chance in hell higher than 3rd is ridiculous. The pitching is really good. And the offense looks about average now. If LaRoche is all that is holding them back it seems like a pretty easy move to fix that.

I got the Sox @ 79 or 80 wins.

I think Sale misses some starts with soreness. I think Rodon is a beast, best ERA on the team.

The top 3 starters and closer are very good.
John Danks still pitching and making over $15 million.

The lineup is average at best. Take away the suckage that is LaRoche, we still cannot count on Melky, Eaton to be good for a full season.

81 wins max

77 wins for the Sox. 98 for the Cubs. The Sox are one of the toughest teams to predict though. I wouldn't be surprised if they won 90 or only won 70.

Who cares what Danks is making? He's an innings eater. Not bad for a 5/6th starter. The entire bullpen is good.

Eaton was one of the best offensive player in all of baseball last year. Players go on streaks. 81 wins max is an absurd guess. The off season isn't even over.
