I will repeat my prediction from last year.

69-93

79-83

Assuming that Krivsky trades for pitching before the deadline. Which I think he will.

If the Reds can hit 83 or 84 I think they will place third in the division. Seriously. That is how weak I think the NL Central will be this year.

edit: I have also elsewhere predicted that this guy
<<----- will pitch a perfect game in during the chicago home stretch the first week in July. Read it and weep! (or take my predictions with a grain of salt)

i'm leaning towards the optimistic side. i think our pitching's better than it has been in the past 5 years or so, and even in years where our pitching was horrific, we still somehow managed to hang around until June. I see more of the same this year. I think we can hang around until close to the deadline, then tail off, as the Rangers and Orioles have done in the past couple of years. Our pitching is better, but the depth is horrible. If one starter goes down, we're in major trouble. Injuries do happen, and we just don't have the kind of depth right now to battle through for a playoff spot if a big injury were to occur. With that being said, I'll say 82 wins. The streak of 5 straight losing seasons comes to an end

Not too many, we don't have a closer to blow them.

A new kind of optimism: If we're already losing, we can't blow a save!
