So what are you eating crow on? What player(s) were you wrong about? in a good or bad way.

*I didn't think the White Sox would be in first place at the break.

*I didn't think two players at age 35 and 36 would put up the best numbers of their career.

*I didn't think a guy a player with under 400 plate appearances by age 28 would be one of the best leadoff men in baseball

*I thought Alexei Ramairz was better than he has shown this year.

*I thought Jake Peavy wasn't a top of the rotation starter anymore.

*I didn't think the Red Sox would be as desperate to get rid of Youkilis and that no other team would be willing to take a chance on him.

*I thought John Danks was better than he had pitched prior to injury.

Hard to say because I was super optimistic going into this season.

It probably has to be that I thought the bullpen would suck.
I guess I was kind of right about that, but it's a lot better than I thought it would be. Young guys have really stepped up unlike I thought they would.

For me it's how well Youkie has played. I didn't give him much of a chance.

I also thought Morel would be better offensively but with him being hurt all season long it's a tough one there.

Thought Ramirez would hit for better power.
Sample size, but I thought Youk was going to suck.
Didn't think AJ would be worth a damn this year

I also thought that he would be better than he has been so far this year. He's been disappointing, but has also had some big hits. I'm..meh..on him. He's okay and there isn't much better out there that the Sox can get.

I didn't think Dunner would bounce back like he has

I thought Tyler Flowers would own the starting catcher job by now

I was preparing to lose Konerko at the deadline, via trade

I thought Morel was a professional baseball player
