Gonelong's 4th annual Season W/L prediction thread ...
I have been receiving lots of emails and PMs asking me if I was going to post this again this year. So, here it is, back by popular demand (ok, not a single email or PM was sent to me requesting this thread
 ) ...Gonelong's 4th annual Season W/L prediction thread ... Note: This is a good chance for all those lurkers out there to get a first post under their belt. If I may be so bold ... I politely request that everyone hold off on the "If so an so is healthy" or if this/that stuff for this one thread. Get serious with it this year boys and girls! Lets see the number you'd put out there if you were forced to bet your house on being right. Max range of 5 Ws, and not give or take 5 (a 10 W range). Gonelong predicts: 78 to 83 Wins 78-82 to 83-79 GL |

Re: Gonelong's 4th annual Season W/L prediction thread ...
77-85. To be quite honest, I don't have any more hope this year than I have had the past few years. Happy we spent money, but not happy with who we spent it on.
I'll say our BEST CASE (if everything goes PERFECTLY) would be 86-76-- that would keep us alive in some playoff race most likely. Our worst case is probably 71-91. This looks very much like a slightly below average MLB team to me in 2005. |

Re: Gonelong's 4th annual Season W/L prediction thread ...
82-80. I think this team is just plain better than last year's team. This will be the year that Kearns stays healthy, Griffey will probably go down but Kearns can slide over and Wiley Mo will be inserted. Randa's not great, but he's better than we had. I'm not really optimistic of Ortiz or Claussen, but I think Milton and Wilson will be solid (or solid enough). Most important, (I think) Norton is gone, Riedling is gone, Gabe White is gone. I disagree w/ Edskin that the reds are slightly below average, and will say we are slightly above average. Just above .500.
