I'm hoping that the team surprises us by not being the worst ever but I can't see them winning more than 70 games.

[Rusty_Kuntz]

68

[wegner]

I'll be shocked if they don't absolutely suck. With that being said, I'm still looking forward to getting this season started because you never know and yes I know I have a problem....I'm a White Sox fan.

[Falstaff]

118 wins

[Quin]

Maldonado's batting average: .059

[mac9001]

I think you have to go under at 61 simply because if they're on pace for 70 wins it means someone is performing and we'll trade them at the first opportunity.

[JoshPR]

71 - 75 wins... There I said it.... 

[JoshPR]

If everything goes well I can see them going 75-87, The other thing I wanna see is good play. Good play even in losses. It's a building block to take the next step. Yeah I'm high on silver and black kool-aid

Too generous 

[Highland]

71 wins. Better than last year but doesn't make for a great season. There will be other more telling things than win totals.

[WBWSF]

85 wins.

Part of me feels like better than last year, but that isn't saying much.  We also are missing any real decent pitchers this year, like we had for parts of last year, which is scary.  I guess we see who steps up, but it feels like the depth is much better than the last few months of 23.  I wouldn't bet on it, but it feels like a Beatles year... when I'm 64.

Now that Cease is gone, our starting pitching is just downright awful. I voted 62-70 but I feel like its probably a better bet to take the 56-61 range.

Either way, I have already accepted this is going to be a long brutal season.

No doubt this year is going to suck.

Still don't know why you aren't GM. Your eye for talent can't be beat. 

[flavum]

64-98, 4th place in a division that will have 5 teams under .500. 

[baseball_gal_aly]

They're going to at the very least lose 100 games, and quite possibly lose the most in team history. It would not shock me at all if they lost 110+ but that is very hard.

The division isn't good enough for that to happen. If they were in the AL East or West, then yeah I could see that.

I think they're that bad that they might lose 110 anyway despite the fact the ALC is ass.
