The only way I see the Sox being "really bad" (which, to me, is <25 wins) is if there are a ton of injuries/covid cases.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I love it ! We're talkin' baseball again. I am so tempted to write some White Sox 2020 themed lyrics to this song. Might as well believe the hype while it all exists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they can get stuck with everyone in slumps more often than vets, but then they can also all be on fire at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 They play 1/3 of their schedule against Detroit and KC. It seems hard to believe they won't be .500. I think having young players is a big advantage this year, even though most of the media guys think the opposite. They don't need the crowd to be pumped.

You're also going to have a lot of young guys who are moderately out of practice at this. It's not unreasonable to think that after basically a 9 month layoff a 37 year old Verlander might be able to find his groove a lot better than a 26 year old Giolito with 1 good season under his belt.

I think right around .500 is a good bet, but I wouldn't be surprised by anything. Literally every line of logic any of us have got could be correct in this situation.

I'd get that sentiment if we were running 8 rookies out there with huge upside and no track record. But other than Robert and Madrigal (who may not even be on the OD roster) most of our "young talent" actually has multiple years of MLB experience, and we have a good number of grisled vets as well, including several new additions.

pcq Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 To me the issue could be how many young soldiers do we need to step up? Not worried about LuRob except injuries and Madrigal seems pretty smooth. How many young arms are needed is the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
