79 wins. A vast improvement, but injuries bite too hard for the Reds to overcome, even with their new depth. I'd love to be short by 10 or 15 wins.

76 Wins. A lot depends. I think the Reds still may make some moves to sort out the roster. If those result in a rotation upgrade or a late inning lefty being acquired, they could go over .500. If they get both, the play-offs aren't out of the question. If they go with what they have and sell off Gennett, Puig and Wood early (say the All Star break), they may not make it much past 70 wins. I'll assume as is on March 3 and mostly the team stays together and say 76 wins.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
88 wins...maybe more if pitching additions have solid seasons. I do think health is the key(as in any season). The lineup is stacked with a solid bench. Hopefully the starters take pressure of the bull pen. I can see Votto, Puig, Suarez, Scooter, and Winker having monster seasons at the plate. I'm a believer...playoffs are my expectation!
Are the results hidden for 4 weeks? Are we all 10 years old!?

Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

New arms and coaches give the offense something they haven't had in years, a fighting chance to win most nights. And a potent offense takes advantage regularly. I'll say 90 as it stands right now.
80 wins... without a legit #1 or #2 starter, Joey's continuing slow starts in recent years and an unsettled, over-hyped outfield, I see a better 2019 than last year, but by mid-season, we'll be dealing the FAs as realize we are still too far away to compete.
93 It may be a bit optimistic, but I think this could be a special year if things fall right.
90 wins. I hope that will snag a wild card spot.
Voted 74-76
They could get close to 85 wins but a lot has to go right. I think the offense is going to be good but injuries within the pitching is the biggest concern.
i'm going 84-78.
I hope the rest of you are right.....
68 wins.
"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me."

86-88.
I've generally been very pessimistic. Want to try a new approach in my advancing age.
74 wins
Ten game improvement to 77-85. A step forward but still not enough pitching and defense.
