I also think anderson is too low. He is a regression candidate but depth charts has him at .774 (from 886), 730 is just too low.

Also I think lynn and giolito are too low, I'm thinking high 3s for lynn and mid 3s or even lower for giolito.

 

Keuchel sounds about right but moncada I'm hoping for like low 800s.

Anderson and Robert at .732? I think I’ll take the over on those.

They have Madrigal with a higher OPS than Robert which is pretty hard to believe. However it did happen last year as I pointed out a while ago. But over a long season theres no way that happens. Robert would have to hit like he did when he slumped last year for multiple months. I think there's a good chance he moves forward in a highly positive way this year. It would help tremendously.

Surprising they give Keuchel such a bad FIP . He has had only 2 seasons his whole career with an FIP  worse than 4.41 and one was his rookie year and the other was the short season with Atlanta. They must be highly conservative giving 2 semi older pitchers like Keuchel and Lynn so much regression coming off very good seasons.

Keuchel had a .28 hr/9 rate. I do believe he can stay under 1 which is great these days but .3 is probably not attainable in a full season.

I would be ok with a low 4s for keuchel, I think 4.4 is a bit high, maybe more like 4.1 or so.

PECOTA record projections are out today. White Sox mean of simulated records is 83-79, good for 3rd in the AL Central. Tampa Bay takes second Wild Card, Toronto and Cleveland also finish ahead of white Sox. There’s a handy little chart of probability of finishes if anyone can excerpt it.

Dodgers projection of 102.9 wins is about the highest PECOTA has ever popped out.

But the White Sox are a big time world series contender and they have the best team in the AL and all the fans upset about not signing FA's are just negative. 

What a disappointing off season this was. Not even above Cleveland. Smh.

Projection systems that have the White Sox as the 8th best team in the AL can be disregarded. What a bunch of nonsense.

If the PECOTA stuff is to be believed those numbers don't exactly look like playoff numbers so Fuck Pecota.

They have the Cubs finishing with a better record than the Sox.
