White Sox will be the biggest competition within our division

[durtymrclean]

Don't be surprised if they come away with a wild card.

 

[Mitchrapp]

The White Sox? As a wild card? Not a chance.

 

[spockmaster]

They will be extremely lucky to even finish close to .500.

 

[durtymrclean]

I like their rotation and their lineup has a 3-4 that could rival ours if they produce at their career norms, and their bullpen is pretty solid. It's early, but they should come in 2nd this year in the division.

They're not even close, their 3-4. And of course Adam Dunn is continuing on his stellar 2011 season.

 

[motownwebguy]

I just don't see above .500 for them. They have very little depth.
4th Place
78-84

5th Place
69-93
Poor Twins!
One may hear a pin drop at new Target Field in September.

OK..let's see....

79-83 in 2011 (75-87 Pathogorean)

meaning, they were 4 wins luckier than they should have been in 2011.


2012 Key Losses:

Buehrle
Quentin
Santos
Vizquel
Pierre
Castro

2012 Key Additions

Fukudome


That's it. I really cannot see them finishing any better than last year. And, IMHO, they certainly might be lucky to win 75.

So Guillen was talking about RAMON Castro in Time Magazine?

Smoke 'em if you got 'em...

I almost hope that this is just an attempt to troll us.

 

[cmlfactor]

I'm more worried about the Royals this year than I am the Sox or Indians.

 

[biggunsbob]

I just don't see it... If we don't win the division by 7-15 games it will be a utter failure by leyland and DD.... DD is the key because the longer Fister is out means we have to use 2 rookies... He may need to make a move.. Rookie number one up today...

No, he has been around a long time over at the ESPN boards and is a good dude.

I can see his point about the White Sox but I think they are destined for last place. The have a couple of solid number three starters in Danks and Floyd. Peavy is always hurt, but the old Peavy would sure help their chances. Sale may turn out to be the best of all of them, that kid is impressive. Their bullpen is pretty suspect as well. No real protection for Konerko either.

He had their 3-4 could rival our 3-4. That's why jmak said troll because who in their right mind would say that?

They got Fuck Your Dome? Oh man, he's scary!

 

[durtymrclean]

Pitching didnt looks too bad today..

 

[biggunsbob]

But here is what is Jake's problem.. Last three years he has started 16,17 and 18 games.. Not holding my breath that he makes 20+ starts this year... Not really clear why you are so worried on game 7 of the season.. Can't win them all and max k'd 11 today... Nice positive step by him...

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers were also inches from 3 more runs today... Weather warms up we are a much better hitting club then the Sox... Now fielding is another story..

 

[durtymrclean]

Im not worried. Im just saying, if any team will give the Tigers a run for their money in the division this year it should be the White Sox.

Disagree.

You probably saw the White Sox at their best today.

4th place team, 3rd if the Indians are just horrible.

The Twinks will be dead last.
