Re: 2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread .

83 wins. And I think that's conservative, as:

Better offense
10 Rolen > 09 EdE et al.
10 Stubbs > 09 Taveras
10 Cabrera > 09 Janish, AGon
10 Bruce > 09 Bruce
10 Phillips = 09 Phillips
10 Hernandez/ Hanigan = 09 Hernandez/ Hanigan
10 Gomes, Dickerson < 09 Gomes, Dickerson
10 Votto < 09 Votto

Better defense
10 Rolen > 09 EdE et al.
10 Stubbs > 09 Taveras
10 Gomes, Dickerson > 09 Gomes, Dickerson
10 Bruce = 09 Bruce
10 Phillips = 09 Phillips
10 Votto =09 Votto
10 Hernandez/ Hanigan = 09 Hernandez/ Hanigan
10 Cabrera < 09 Janish, AGon

Better starting staff
10 Cueto > 09 Cueto
10 Bailey > 09 Bailey
10 Chapman/ Leake/ Wood > 09 Owings/ Lehr/ Maloney/ Wells
10 Arroyo = 09 Arroyo
10 Harang = 09 Harang

If they stay healthy, this team has a chance. If not, they don't. Pretty simple.

Re: 2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread .

80 wins. The pitching gives me concerns. I'm comfortable with Arroyo and Bailey right now. I'm not as comfortable with Harang, Cueto, and Wood. I also think the bullpen could slide back.

The offense should be a little better, the defense solid again.

If the starting pitching holds up better than I expect, then the team could contend in the division. Hope it does.

I'm very positive on the organization over the next several years, just skeptical about 2010.

Re: 2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread .

Well I guessed 78 last year and hit it on the head however relative health would have resulted in 2-3 more wins at least i'm guessing. So with that in mind and some general optimism about the progression of the unit as a whole I am gonna go with 85 wins. This what my mind says, my gut says somewhere in the 87-88 range. But I'll stick with 85.

Re: 2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread .

Wow, I thought I was being optimistic with 80.

If this team wins, say, 84 games, it will still be a mediocre team with no chance at the playoffs. But it will be the first winning season in a decade and the team will use it as a reason to keep Baker, and the cycle of mediocrity will continue. So I am HOPING for 94 or 74 and really not much in between.

God, I have been a fan of this team too long.
