There pitching is much better than Detroit and they should hit again, unlike LY...could be interesting.

Did you say that the SOX pitching is better then Detroit?

Verlander, Bonderman, Willis, Robertson, Rodgers

Buehrle, Vazquez, Contreras, Danks, Floyd

Buehrle would probably bump Rodgers or Willis but the others? And don't give me Contreras because you know he is brutal

Both bullpens are sketchy, except Jenks who is decent....

Kool Aid must be good

You name it..Contreras will win 15 this year..guaranteed

Rodgers? Is he still alive?

Seriously though, how can you say that the Sox staff is bettern then Verlander, Bonderman, Robertson and Willis, I can see the argument with Willis but he should have a good year because not many in the AL have seen him, especially the first half of the year. I see all four of these guys haven't better years then the White Sox staff, except maybe Buerhle, who is good, but he loves to get shelled

I was referring top to bottom, but really felt my only leap was in the bridge to get to Jenks. And I think they will get that solved with Thorton, Linebrink and two others. For the starters we agree on Buerlhe and I will put my Kool Aid aside, but still wager anything you want that Vazquez and Contreras will win more than Detroit's 2 and 3. Gavin Floyd will win at least 10 in the 4 or 5 spot and Danks is good for 10, I mean he won 7 or 8 last year in half a season before hitting the rookie wall.
