southsider2k5 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The Soxtalk guide to the off-season. Sox player had a good year- Can't be repeated, decline imminent. Sox player had a bad year- ominous sign, decline imminent. Sox player hurt- don't count on them, they won't fully recover, probably ever, decline imminent. Sox player leaves for another team- They are irreplaceable. Sox decline imminent. Player Soxtalk wanted Sox to sign, signed with another team- Reinsdorf is cheap, he would have been the difference to catching Detroit, Sox decline imminent. Detroit player had a good year- Look out, they are way better than what the Sox have, will help the Tigers get better. Detroit player had a bad year- Plenty of room to rebound and will help the Tigers get better. Detroit player hurt- This is an opportunity for the Tigers to get better, as they didn't have this player last year. Detroit player leaves for another team- They sucked, and the player replacing them is way better. This will help the Tigers get better. Player signs with Detroit- Huge help to the Tigers, this plugs their only hole, this will help the Tigers get better. Player snubs Detroit for another team- They sucked, and the player they already have is way better. This will help the Tigers get better.

Just replace Detroit with Minnesota on occasion. The only thing you missed was: This is the year the Royals take the next step and will pass the woeful, poorly managed, underfunded, over paid, talentless, prospect barren Chicago White Sox.

I am ashamed of myself for missing this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Since Detroit is better than the Sox, I think it's perfectly natural to expect bounces to go their way. If they don't then that will be the surprise. And we'll welcome it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That terrible defense which was supposed to kill them last year got them to the World Series. I don't expect it to be an issue in 2013...

I don't expect it to be an issue in 2013... And kept them under 90 wins. A few wins by the White Sox against the Royals and it could have kept them out of the playoffs.

I get the feeling that if I could find a site listing errors and schedule in the same table, the Sox would have had more errors against the Royals than we'd be comfortable admitting.
