I'll say this is the year they go over .500, I'll say they rally at years end and get 83 wins, I like the team after all the adjustments, fans should be patient it's a rebuilding year IMO. They could easily trade some vets at the trading deadline and the second half could become a full scale rebuilding process which is fine with me as long as the crown jewels are protected and not traded, no more Stewart trades please my heart cant take it.
Far too soon to tell. (IMHO)
Let's wait until The finale spring training cuts and then make an educated guess.
you dont have to say anything but it's just a fun post, no one's putting a gun to anyone's head
I'll go out out on a limb and say 86. They'll be hard fought wins, but they'll add up to 86 at the end.

83 wins.

I'm taking the over. By how many, I'm not sure yet, but definitely the over.
Hope isn't a strategy
Trying to steal Gonelong's thunder, icehole?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
Over...but then when it comes to the Reds I am an eternal optimist.
Where we gonna go?
not sure, did he post the same thing, if so my badOriginally Posted by paintmered
Over. I'll go 86.
They'll be in the thick of things come trading deadline, making an Arroyo or Harang trade that much more difficult. Which will be a bummer, not to get something for them.
I have a love-hate relationship with Albert Pujols. Mostly hate.
He does a prediction thread every season. But this is just an O/U and not the same thing.
I'm going w/ over, barring anything bad happening in ST.
Over. This is the best Reds team in the last decade. I'd guess 84-86 wins.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
over 94 wins.
I always think 94 wins in february.
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
I'll take the under. Smoke and mirrors
I'll take the over but I won't be making any actual predictions until Gonelong starts his annual thread.
