CanOfCorn Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'd say 7.5 or an 8. Why? New blood. Plus, one never knows what's going to happen. Everyone starts 0-0. That's always exciting! Plus, it won't be winter anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 16, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) Not very. I'll be excited if Kenny goes ahead and does rebuild instead of this guise that the 2012 team will somehow be contending for anything. I disagree. On the pitching side of the ball we are pretty deep. I'd like to see KW get a young lefty bullpen piece in one of his trades to slide into Sale's role. I don't want to miss a beat there. And since we're going to have 6-7 guys that can throw a competitive 6 innings, we need to make sure we have a that shut down bullpen, which IMO we almost have. If we arrange that offense right we can take the division easily with our deep pitching. No other team in the AL central can pitch worth a lick behind their stars IMO.

I think that the team will probably look much different by the time spring training gets here. I trust Kenny Williams. Did you also trust this man?

RockRaines Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 1 right now But as usual with baseball starting and the weather showing signs of possibly getting warmer my excitement will increase, mostly because baseball=summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The joke obviously isn't going over so well. Point is how the hell could anybody "trust" KW at this point? I can see having faith and hoping for the best. But trust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm at about a 3.14. Speaking of, I'm more interested in pie...you know with Thanksgiving coming up. Depending on what happens with Buehrle, my excitement could increase dramatically or drop a bit. I am looking forward to the winter meetings. Hopefully the ball starts rolling and we have a better idea of what this team will look like in spring training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 My excitement is blah right now. The current state of the Sox reminds me of the 1998-2000 era when we decided to go young in attempt to build young talent around Frank Thomas. This time they will try to do the same around Konerko. The Mark Buerhle situation makes me super sad. It will be tough to get over that one if he indeed moves on. And by the looks of it- he indeed will do so. I am excited to see what type of deals he makes in attempt to improve the clubs farm system and future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 16, 2011 -> 06:55 PM) 0.12 I need a long offseason to get up the want to see Adam Dunn and Alex Rios do anything again. I'm at a 2 and it's not because my favorite Sox is gone, Ozzie. I'm over that surprisingly. No one player (manager) is bigger than my love of the team. But Beckham, Rios, Dunn, mostly the hitters' ineptitude of last season has had me at my lowest point in Soxdom in a long time. Also the inability to beat the Central and all that. I guess a few trades that make us contenders not rebuilders could make me get excited pretty fast. The new regime should wipe out a lot of the crummy stuff like inability to beat the Central and inability to win at home and inability to actually put together a hot winning streak. Robin had nothing to do with any of that, so it is a fresh slate for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new regime at least makes me have a glimmer of hope for Beckham, and I can't imagine Dunn having another year like 2011 (but I couldn't imagine him EVER having a year like 2011!). Rios just needs to stop being a lazy jackass. We'll have to wait and see if the new gropu has any effect on Dunn, Beckham, and Rios. If not, it's going to be a loooong season.
