1. under. i see Joey as a 25 HR .300+ average type guyOriginally Posted by Homer Bailey
2. over. tremendous raw power
3. under. i honestly think Brandon is going to slip just before his contract balloons. i really hope i am wrong.
4. over. i'll say ~.290 with a lot of doubles
5. Cueto. he gets it together after a long winters rest
6. under. 38.5 is a lot of saves. he could be solid & still not get that many due to a paucity of save opportunities

Push! Over if I have to pick one. GABP inflated 30 HR's
2.) Home Runs - Jay Bruce - 30
Over. Probably a little too optimistic.
3.) Home Runs - Brandon Phillips - 20½
Under. Shouldn't even try.

Under.

1.) Home Runs - Joey Votto - 28½
Under-- Votto, while great, isn't primarily a home run hitter and he's due a small drop in production.
2.) Home Runs - Jay Bruce - 30
Over-- Bruce is primarily a HR threat and should blossom into a Top Five NL slugger this year, assuming health.
3.) Home Runs - Brandon Phillips - 20½
Over-- He's done it every year he's been a starter. He'll do it again.
4.) Batting Average - Scott Rolen -.284
Under-- On the backside of 30. Toughest call of all of them, IMO.
5.) Who Will Have More Wins
Aaron Harang (CIN)
Bronson Arroyo (CIN)
Johnny Cueto (CIN)
6.) Saves - Francisco Cordero - 38½
Over-- Better team, as said before, means more saves. By the end of the season, Cordero's among the saves leaders in the NL.
1. Under. More of a 25 HR, .320 BA season
2. Over. 36 HR to lead the team
3. Over. 24 HR.
4. Under, but not by much.
5. Arroyo
6. Under. Say 34 or so.
Hope isn't a strategy
I remember this thread being more interesting in the past. People posted a random question from Bruce HR's to toothpicks chewed by Baker with a over/under on it. The next poster replied over or under and posted their own. The chains would run for days.
1 under
2 under
3 under
4 under
Cueto
5 Over
And in the spirit of previous threads...
Number of games started by Dickerson... 95
Each over/under is contigent on each player playing at least 120 games (other than the pitchers).
Joey Votto - 28½ HR He'll go over.
Jay Bruce - 30 HR With 120+ games? He'll go over.
Brandon Phillips - 20½ HR He'll go over.
4.) Batting Average - Scott Rolen -.284

"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."
