2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread
 

Ok, it's time for Gonelong's 9th annual Reds Win prediction thread. The rules are simple:

1. Give a number of Ws you project.
2. Make the prediction as honestly as you can. It's a prediction, not a hope.
3. Feel free to wait for opening day to make your prediction.

This is the Sundeck's opportunity to show the ORG we know our Reds better then they do.

I'll start it off by guessing the Reds will win 85 games.

I'll go. I don't think there will be any major additions to the club between now and the season opener. If there is, I'll change my prediction.

Don't know what the pythagorean is for this season, but I have a feeling I'll be about 7 games above it.

I'm going for a record of 86-76.

86 Wins

84

87 wins for a team that should be healthier and more experienced. However, if this team doesn't figure out a way to score runs...it won't happen and we'll see a repeat of years past.

82 wins... The improvements have to be worth 4 additional wins to me. The hitting still isn't good enough to be serious contenders though.

90

84 wins. Still too many "ifs" to obtain a higher number.

Re: 2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread
 

I think the 83 range is safe, better team then last year, but still have to see what the offense can do to put runs onthe board.

Re: 2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread
 

Why not....I'll go with 88.

Re: 2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread
 

91 wins and the wild card.

Chapman NL rookie of the year.

Votto and Bruce both top ten in MVP votes.

Dogs and cats sleeping together.

Mass hysteria.

80. I really want to post a higher number, but I can't muster up enough confidence that Bruce AND Harang AND Cabrera will have bounce-back years. AND that Bailey has it figured out AND that Stubbs is for real AND that Rolen will stay healthy AND that Gomes will have another stellar year.
I hope I will be proven wrong, but as of right now, my optimism is much more guarded than that of most of the posters here.

Lot of potential in this club but once again way too man "ifs"

81-81
