Going with 71 this year. I washed last year's prediction from my brain, so I'm not sure if this is the lowest ever prediction for me or not.

An even 70
I went 74-76. Optimistic? Yes. But, I'm excited about some of the new pieces.

78 wins
“The guys we've had for the most part have been serviceable at this level.”
75 wins if the kids can each take a step forward.
I went optimistic with 72 wins. I definitely think they will avoid 100 losses. And after watching the offense during spring training, they could possibly avoid 90 losses.
It all boils down to the pitching. Unfortunately, I am not as optimistic about the pitching. I look for struggles from the top three, and the bullpen looks murky as ever.

pretty much even money (of course the casino gets their juice at -110)Originally Posted by Wonderful Monds
here's the thing though. and you can correct me if i'm wrong. i do not think they will only be playing 150 games this year.
HAHA, nevermind, i thought you were predicting their record. lmao. i'll show myself out.
65-97
Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2
61 wins if they refuse to bring any young players up that can change the culture of what it is now. No urgency to win anything
Hope I'm wrong, but they'll lose 100 games again IMO.

I went with a very optimistic 71-73 win season.
There are just too many things that have to go right for this team to play with the big clubs.
Question marks across the entire roster including pretty much every slot in the starting eight.
The best thing the major league team has going for it is the top 3 rotation slots show some promise.
Hope I'm wrong and they do better that that.
100 losses is more likely than 80 wins.

"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." Roy Tucker October 2010
72...
72, but as Mellenkamp would say “we were improving”
sorry we're boring
