[SpammySosa]

The only prediction I will make is there will be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 more prediction threads before the first pitch is even thrown.

[Chicago83]

All your totals seem a little high, but there is nothing wrong with being optimistic. I would love to see Buerhle get 20 and I really think he has a chance. However, here are my predtictions.

Buehrle 18
Garcia 15
Contreras 13
El Duque 10
Garland 13

That's about 70 wins from your starters, add about 5 from a spot starter and whatever you can get from the bullpen, and you are talking 90 wins.

[SABRSox]

I'll do Wins and ERA:

Buehrle: 18, 3.95
Garcia: 14, 4.10
Contreras: 10, 4.80
Hernandez: 15, 3.80
Garland: 13, 4.50

buehrle 21

garland 13

that IS optimistic! 81 wins just by the starters?

try:

buehrle 19
garcia 17
contraras 11
hernandez 14
garland 10

where we win is by the extra wins by the bullpen.

[chisoxmike]

Buehrle 17
Garcia 15
Hernandez 13
Contreras 13
Garland 12

Thats 70 wins, bullpen needs at least 20. I believe they had 21 last year.

[TaylorStSox]

MB: 20/3.62
Garcia: 16/4.16
El Duque: 9/4.63
Contreras: 14/4.97
Garland: 16/4.22

[SoxFan76]

Buerhle 19
Garcia 17
Duque 13
Contreras 15
Garland 13

almost 80 wins from the starters. I think that is totally realistic.

[guillen4life13]

I'm not going to make any predictions because I really have no idea, but here's something for you guys to ponder:


The bullpen being upgraded=more wins for starters because there are less blown leads or blown saves. In other words, a good bullpen pads starters' stats.

[DumpJerry]

I think the starters will average 15 wins each. Burhle and Garcia could top 20 which will push the average up.

But...enough of predictions....BRING IT ON! LET'S GET STARTED!

[SoxFan76]

If the Sox lose opening day this place is going to go nuts. :D:

[I_Liked_Manuel]

buehrle- 18 or 19
garcia- 15 (he wont be winning too many at home)
contreras- 13
el duque- 13
garland- 17 (he'll figure out not to throw the change up)

[Chisox003]

Buehrle 18, 4.13 ERA
Garcia 18, 3.85 ERA
Contreras 14, 4.28 ERA
Duque 11, 3.94 ERA
Garland 13, 4.39 ERA

74 total, probably a little optimistic....I love Buehrle and definitely agree he IS our ace, but I think Freddy will have the better year...

I hope Im wrong, but I dont see any of our guys gettin 20 just because the bang box for a home park they pitch in...Oh well, I still see a great year for the Fab 5

[striker60657]

Buehrle 21
Garcia 18
Contreras 15
Hernandez 16
Garland 16

I bet Garland has a good year. He'll probably be one of the top 10 #5 starters in baseball.

[hold2dibber]

Buehrle 21
Garcia 18
Contreras 15
Hernandez 16
Garland 16

I bet Garland has a good year. He'll probably be one of the top 10 #5 starters in baseball.

If he wins 16 games, that would make him the best #5 starter in baseball. By a long shot.

[yadosoxfan]

MB- 17-10
FG- 21-7
JC- 11-10
OH- 13-11
JG- 15-12

theres 77 wins by the starters, and I'll guess the bullpen wins between 15-20, which stays true to my prediction that the sox will win 95 games this year.

[santo=dorf]

Buehrle-21
Garcia- 18
El Duque-13
Contreras-15
Garland-14

[chaz171]

Hoyt 24
Dotson 22
Bannister 16
Burns 10
Koosman 11

[Iron Dragon]

Jon Garland will not win double-digit games this year. I'm surprised the lowest number I saw for him was 10. Hope I'm wrong, obviously.

Holy Smokes! Talk about springtime optimism! Does everyone really think that all 5 starters will stay healthy all year? How about some injury starts for Hermanson?

I'm a "glass half full" kind of Sox fan as well. How often do all 5 starters stay healthy on any team?

If Garland is the 5th starter and can't get a couple extra wins by accident because of other teams pitching garbage and somehow lower his ERA...15 wins out of him should be easy! :?:

[White Sox Randy]

Garcia 19
Buehrle 17
Contreras 14
Hernandez 11
Garland 14

I say the bullpen is the team strength and the Sox win 93 games.

[Shingotime!!]

I have a whole page of my projected stats for the team on excel but when i post them it comes up all jumbled up. Any suggestions on how i fix this?
