SoxAce Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 89. Even though our offense sucks, our pitching is too good. (not to mention we are in a s***ty division) So I guess I'm in the 87-91 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, then tomorrow it will be scorching hot with temps in the high 90s and possibly in the low 100s. The weathers these days, it's crazy.

southsider2k5 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 26, 2010 -> 12:00 PM) My concern is our 2nd half swoons that we always seem to have. Even in 2005 our intensity seemed to drop. I don't know if it's conditioning, Ozzie, the players, or what but I don't think we can afford a lackluster 2nd half with our offensive holes. Or maybe it is because we weren't flexible enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 screw the 'barring injuries' stuff, i think we'll probably see tcq, jenks, and garcia see DL time this year, probably putz too 84 wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Does the 72-76 voter want to say anything? Just curious because its the only vote below 82. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) Pierre gets on base at a .350 clip. Quentin/Rios perform to their capabilities, past history. Alexei avoids another slow start. Teahen sports a .775 (.800 would be wonderful) OPS at 3B. And this offense is good enough (considering our pitching) even without adding a big bat. Chances of all these things happening? I'd say 40-50%. I'm going with an even 90 wins. Edited March 26, 2010 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 With all the questions surrounding the offense, there are still issues with the SP and bullpen that could sabotage the season. Peavy doesn't live up to expectations, Jenks is hurt or ineffective, Putz the same, Garcia is lousy/injured, Hudson isn't ready, Pena stinks... there's a decent chance of all those factors going wrong. Combined w other problems, I don't see much more than 80-82 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gooch Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 92 The offense isn't going to be great and everyone is pretty aware of that (especially if Teahan keeps batting below .100). I think that whether or not this team makes the playoffs depends on our bullpen, especially Bobby Jenks. With our offense being bad, and our pitching staff being so good, a lot of the games we win will be very close, so the bullpen will have to hold close leads and Jenks will have to be able to close out games.

greg775 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) We look like a .500 team to me. I can't see the offense being very productive unless CQ just has a Pujols type year somehow. I am hoping we finish 10 over .500 somehow. That would take a lot of things going well. Edited March 27, 2010 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense just has to be mediocre and it can do that. Hell, even PECTOA estimated that we'd score 780 runs, which is definitely good enough.

dpd9189 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 QUOTE (SockMe @ Mar 28, 2010 -> 01:00 AM) enough to win the division! I think we're an 83 win team. Just my opinion. Hopefully its enough to win the AL Central. I like our starting staff but I'm not sold on our lineup and bullpen quite yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmbjeff Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I know I met get flamed for this but we have the pitching staff to win 100 games. If we can win 4 games a week on average, it certainly is possible. While I don't think they will win 100 games, it is possible. A realistic win total though is about 87-91 I think.
