Official 2016 Soxtalk White Sox win total prediction thread

[ChiSoxFanMike]

130-32, with all 32 losses coming from games that Danks started.

[NorthSideSox72]

87-75, heart-breakingly close to playoffs but just miss. Offense is impressive, pitching not as much so as people thought it would be.

 

Also, given the scramble of platoon options at catcher, SS and OF, with a competent bullpen, a lot of the success rests on Ventura and his game and lineup management. I think that could make the few-game difference between playoffs and not in the end.

Back from the dead to chime in. . .

 

88 wins in 2016. Good enough for at least a WC spot.

 

 

Where is the 160+ option?

 

Some blasts from the past in here.

 

[Jose Abreu]

82-80, 4th in the division.

[Rowand44]

86 sounds about right to me. I'm not sure if that gets us into the playoffs but I think it at least gives us a shot.

[Soxfest]

81-81

[chisox802]

86-87 wins, like a lot of others have said. I think we get heartbroken and just miss the playoffs.

 

This team is better all around, and will be in it all year though at least.

Optimism was through the roof last year.

89

[Texsox]

88 wins and the team is in the race until the final week.

 

The key will be the first month of the season. They need a fast start. After the Orioles series they need to be 15-9 possible 14-10. If this season starts iff crappy, I just don't see it turning around.

I think the shift offensively with this team will be dramatic enough to increase our win total drastically.

Cool beans, didn't know MLB added 21 extra games this year.

Wow, with NEGATIVE off-days this year, I hope Sale's arm doesn't fall off.
