LAST YEAR: 77-63 8 GB, 2nd / .324 / 4.44

BNN PREDICTION: 74-66 2nd / .264 / 2.82

FARM SYSTEM: 6th

PAYROLL: 6th, $25,207

HIGHEST PAID PLAYER: OF Austin Jackson, $1,880

CASH BALANCE: $137,919

Under no circumstances should an all-Chicago World Series be ruled out this year. The Sox pushed the Senators all the way last season before just dying on their run in the shadows of the winning post, and in fact I see their chances of post-season action as being even higher than those of their cross-town rivals.

It begins and ends with the pitching for the 1903 Pale Hose. Their rotation is among the best in the game right now, and any of the four members – Danny Cox, Andy Messersmith Lefty Tyler and William VanLandingham – could win 20 this year.

Complementing this is an offensive lineup that is probably just a year away (at most) from striking fear into opponents’ pitching staff. In 1B / OF George Stone and SS Solly Hemus (led the AL with 72 BB, .456 OBP, and 7.9 WAR) they have two of the best weapons in the FL, and they’ll nicely bookend the 4/5 combo of 1B Steve Cox and 2B Hector Lopez, with OF Austin Jackson (.397 BA in his rookie year, 155 ribbies in his two FL seasons) coming in at 7 to knock them all in.

What makes all of this even more impressive is the strength of their PSL side at Waterloo and the White Sox have all the makings of this league’s first dynasty. As I said, they may be a year away from it but look out for years of AL domination after that, all things going according to plan.

PLAYERS TO WATCH: OF George Stone, SS Solly Hemus

Opening Day squad.
