The Sox will repeat in the Central, win 93 games.

Steve Phillips will be so shocked by this that, he will admit that he was a bad GM.

 

Konerko will hit .300 and have 40 HRs.

Owens will hit .280 and steal 50 bases while starting in CF.

Fields will win the 3rd base job and hit 30 HRs.

Getz will win the 2B job, do decently, but the Sox bring up Beckham in August.

 

Danks passes Buehrle as the ace of the team, wins 19, ERA about 3.50.

Buehrle wins 13, ERA around 3.80.

Floyd wins 15, ERA around 4.25.

Colon wins 12 with an ERA around 4.00.

Marquez wins the #5 job, has about 7 wins, ERA around 4.70.

 

 

 

How's that for positive and bold, huh?

Viciedo will come up in July and hit about 15 HRs. He will show all Sox fans that he indeed is 'the next big thing'.

 

Danks will have a sensational season winning 17 games and posting a 3.85 ERA.

 

Owens will have a nice spring and make the team as our every day CF/leadoff man. But by May he will once again find his way on the DL and Lillybridge will take his spot and do a nice job.

 

Getz will have a decent rookie campaign. He will bat about .260, 25 SB and 50 RBI.

 

Fields will prove us all wrong with his defensive play, and will knock out 30 HR. However, his average will be below .240 and his strike out rate will be scary.

Is being in last place this season a bold perdiction?

 

Last place?

 

That would be perdition, not perdiction.

 

;)

We still don't have a reliable set up man to Bobby.

Lexi has an awful spring defensively at ss making Oz wonder what to do.

Dye has another good year since he's Jermaine f***ing Dye.

Paulie starts slowly and gets booed out of the Cell.

CQ becomes even more of a fan favorite and keeps our lineup scary. Lexi hits no matter how bad his D is.

We contend.

-By the time August rolls around, our regular fifth starter is either Egbert, Cassel, or Ely

-both Fields and Viciedo prove to be ready to hit a ton right now, and the logjam is solved via an injury to a slugger

-Owens stays healthy through ST, makes the team, and Ozzie sticks with him until his head explodes and he has to finally admit that he made a mistake and that Jerry Owens sucks at baseball; BA becomes the starter and does a pretty good job, starts slowly adjusting from the bench role and gets hot in August through the end of the season

-Bartolo is a total non-factor (is that bold?)

-Sox win 82-86 games, take 3rd in the Central behind CLE and DET; they make a late August and September run when it is too late, but it gives hope for 2010

-Dotel is traded for a weak package at the deadline with the Sox knowing they won't offer arb after the season and Link takes his role; Dotel is the only meaningful player traded, but Betemit also goes as Lillibridge eats up his playing time

 

one more: by the end of the season Jordan Danks has people wondering if he has a shot at making the team out of ST in 2010
