I don't think you can get away with Johnson at second in today's low scoring game.

Sure you can. If Johnson ends up being an issue on offense, its because other guys are not producing.

83

I cannot trust the back end of the rotation. Samardzija and Quintana are good pitchers but they have never stepped up to win games for their teams. I'm not completely sold on the bullpen and I'm concerned with Robertson's injury. This could end up being a very good offense but there are too many guys who traditionally start their year slowly. 10 wins is a big jump in win totals from year to year and I think it is being too optimistic to expect more.

Abreu will lead the league in batting average. Michah Johnson will push for ROY.

83.

No team in the ALC will win or lose or more than 86 games.

Computers don't account for past injuries. 83 wins

Actually, they do.

96 wins.

rozner picked them to go to the alcs. rozner is never wrong.

Before last year, I said how 87 wins or a playoff appearance were needed in 2015.

So, I'll go with 87.

84.

Abreu will have another good year, but not as good as last.
Quintana and Samardzija will regress a bit.
Avisail will do better.
Eaton will be about the same.
Sale will make almost 30 starts.
Laroche and Melky will hit a decent amount of home runs.

Sorry Sox fans

I was right about Abreu, Samardzija and Eaton. Close on Sale.

I was wrong about Avisail, LaRoche, Melky.

76 Wins. Not sold on Robertson. Samardzija sucks and having a bad defense will hurt Rodon's W/L record. Rodon will push for ROY, not M.J. Will this be the year Sale breaks?

I don't think you can get away with Johnson at second in today's low scoring game. I expect him to be playing center in AAA at some point this season. Maybe Sanchez has won the second base job already.

The bullpen and defense are vastly improved. Those two areas alone probably cost the Sox at least 10-12 wins last year. Whether that 87 is good for the WC/Division obviously remains to be seen.

He can slap it and is fast enough to get on at a high rate. He just can't play a reasonable second base.

87. The AL Central is a gauntlet this year, Cleveland will be a problem. I'm more worried about Micah's defense than offense. Sanchez is a very good 2B.

If that does happen...BY ANY MEANS....its a slap in the face of the Sox organization. 2 wagering aspects of this. - Predction Machine actually has that 77 W prediction as the strongest win totals in MLB - If I had to wager, I would say Over 77 WINS, but I am not

88 wins. Verlander will lead the older Tigers straight to the trainer's table with him, KC will fall to 76 wins, Cleveland is a mirage and the Twins will blow. Make that 90 wins.

I was wrong about Avisail, LaRoche, Melky. Eaton has had a strong year after a bad start. I think I saw he has a .359 OBP and a .285 average. Quintana turned out to have a better ERA than Sale. This time has so many holes though, there's no way they are going to be able to fill most of these without creating new ones (like moving Quintana).
