RockRaines Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 12:44 PM) Anyone else get the feeling that the big story this season is going to be Joe Crede? I just have this feeling that he's going to be a .300/40/100 guy, win a gold glove and be a serious candidate for MVP. A solid player like Joe is likely to have one of those seasons where they put it all together and just go off, not that they'll sustain it through their career. No, in fact I think he might miss some games, and then Fields comes up and impresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm thinking the opposite of that initial post as well. I see Joe giving KW a little more tangible evidence as to why he should be dealt. Reduced power numbers, same lame batter's eye and some time missed do to the back ailment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlled Chaos Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I've been drinking the black and white kool-aid and although it's colorless, it packs a powerful punch and has left me with a vivid representation of the season to come. Sox win the central 96-66 We catch a bit of a scare in the opening round of the playoffs going 5 games with Anaheim. We dispose of Boston in 4, who was coming off a 5 game series of their own with Cleveland. (sidenote: With Boston out of contention and NY failing to make the playoffs, ESPN cancels it's baseball coverage.) We beat Philly in 6 for the championship!! Not quite an 11-1 post season run, but a dramatic World Series nonetheless. Some good story lines emerge with the trades between these two teams the last couple of years. Freddy isn't "Big Game" in his 2 starts against the Sox. Thome, on the other hand, comes up huge to claim his first world series championship. Combine that with his 500th homer, which he will also get this year, and he has earned his ticket to the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damen Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 81 Wins. 4th place. We have too many holes this year, and the AL Central is too strong. If Contreras stays healthy, Buerhle rebounds, Garland remains in 05/6 form, Vazquez can get past the sixth inning, Podsednik does something good, Erstad plays like he hasn't in years, Uribe improves his OBP, Dye doesn't regress too far, and Thome stays healthy/productive all year, then we can win the Central.

WHITESOXRANDY Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yeah, no room for error in this division. This isn't the NL Central unfortuantely. Whoever wins it has to have a great season. The Sox can't have a great season with a black hole in the 5 spot in the rotation or with a 1-2 of Pods, Erstad. Gimme a break. I know......no one makes outs with a better attitude than Darin Erstad.

max power Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Here is another prediction, the twins finish the year under .500 and in 4th place. Also, Santana has his worst year in a long time and possibly gets injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 there's gotta be something. Water kills the Wicked Witch of the West; a stake to the heart and sunlight kill vampires; bullet(s) to the head kill zombies; sandpaper kills grinders?

GoRowand33 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 My prediction: AL central is way overrated, the Indians will falter for the 2nd straight year, and the Tigers fall back to earth after their magical season I see the Twins and Whitesox battling for the division in a scrappy matter, with the Sox pulling on top with 88 wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
