I agree. The problem for the SOX is that they play 52 games against AL East opponents. Move the SOX to the Central or West and we're probably talking an above .500 team. One thing's for sure, they wouldn't finish in last.
Btw, losing Story for the entire season definitely hurts the SOX pitching and makes winning 80 games, which many predicted, just that much tougher. And I'm just referring to his defense.
