88-74 - Wild Card.

This team IMHO is loads better than last year. We went into last year with Jimmie Haynes as our No. 1 starter for starts. What a difference. This time around we have Milton, Ortiz, Wilson, Harang, and Claussen or Hudson. Much better. We have a full time third baseman who is not a superstar, bu,t consistent. We have an outfield that is the envy of everyone.

It might all blow up (notice no mention of "Gravy" here), but it looks good for opening day.

Good points WV.

I could be wrong, but I think Joe Randa is going to be one player that is going to surprise many. I know he is getting older and he has never been a dominating player, but I think he is going to step things up this year.

MWM · 03-28-2005, 01:10 AM

72-90

Just a hunch, but I expect the pitching to be not much better than last year and I don't know that we'll get repeat performancesfrom the likes of Freel and Wily Mo. Plus, they've played on the good side of Pythageras for a couple of years now, so the law of averages makes me believe they'll be on the other side of it this year. I expect a slightly better run differential than last year, but a worse record. Excuse me while I get fitted for a flack jacket. I have a feeling I'm going to need it.

You don't need the jacket when it comes to me, although I respectfully disagree with your assessment of the situation.

No need for a flak jacket. I've never seen someone get on another about an estimate on a thread like this.

77-85

10 game Pythag Win gain over last season.

SirFelixCat · 03-28-2005, 02:55 AM

All the SABR guys are hedging towards a sub - .500 team...that should tell me something

87-75

And MWM, nothing wrong with what you said there bro. To each their own. Though I would like to point out, that, while you can never expect Jr. to stay healthy, Ears was out most of the season, and at least we have a ML 3B

And the grand irony is that we're all projecting improvement.

M2-- I love it

You know, the grass is greening, the birds are chirping, hope springs eternal. And yet, Lindner and co. still garner these kinds of quotes. Very funny though!
