88 wins and a big year from dunn
82 wins. Two tiny steps forward. Made even more palatable by Votto and Bailey coming up after the All-Star Break...
75 wins.
72 wins
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

87 wins
76 wins.
69 wins. A late season push from Votto and Hamilton pick-up the pace enough to avoid 100 losses.
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!
I'm going to go out on a limb...
92
Would be nice.
72 wins.
I'll go with last year's 80. This team improved defensively, but the offense is worse off, IMO.
Here's to another pennant race.

If everything goes just right 89 wins if not could be 72 wins.
While trying to block Narron and the 12 man pitching staff outta my head...... I'll get all giddy and say 84 wins in 2007.
After listening to Narron on 3/29 pre game show I'm not so giddy.
The lose of Deno and the type of players/pitchers that Jerry values has brought my optimism crashing down like a ton of bricks.
I change my prediction to 75 wins in 2007. God I hope I'm wrong!
The limp-wristed, lilly-livered, spineless twit in me thinks that the people who have posted that These Reds could potentially win 95 games or lose 95 games are dead-on....
The cocksure pundit in me, however, is assuming you can count on management to do things "by the book" (no surprises, no outrighting Milton, no adding massive payroll, just working with what we got for six months), and is confident in two observations:
(1) The 2007 Reds are a marginally better team than the 2006 Reds
(2) There is no rational basis for assuming the 2007 NL Central will be as easily beatable as the 2006 NL Central was
Process and synthesize, and I think we're good for maybe a 3-5 game net loss versus last year. I have always been partial to the number 7, so let's pick towards the optimistic end of the Pragmatism Spectrum:
77 wins.
