School's out. What did you expect?
I'm feeling optimistic myself............
73-89
I'm gonna say 68-94....not because of the pitching, but because I think this group will set a franchise record for errors in a season.
Also, the offense now seemingly depends almost completely on JR......and that is trouble.
Hold on tight Reds fans....this is going to be a doosie!
78-84 but am hoping for a 100 wins.IF Harang,Arroyo and Milton can give us 200 innings each and Claussen 160 it may be better than we all think. But that is a mighty big IF.
Reds Fan Since 1971
I predict that the Reds will play 162 games.
Oh, I'm supposed to predict how they will do in those 162 games.......
82-80. I hate predicting them to have a losing season.

Narron will be fired near or at the end of the season.
i also believe the team will be minus a couple veteran infielders, and at least one from the starting rotation - hopefully via trade.
74-88
All the trades/signings have been run differential neutral.
78-84

69 is what I said a couple months ago and I think that Arroyo could be worth a couple more. I'll go with 71 wins. Jerry Narron will be out of town sometime in August.

Narron is out about midseason
Our starting rotation does well and surprises a lot of people
I'm a trends guy. If the Reds win the first one I'll say 162. Can't win em all without winning the first one.
More realistically I'll say 79-81
80-82. It would have been better, but I can see us giving away several games in April and May by playing bad lineups weighed down with slow, aging vets (Hatteburg and Aurillia say "hello").
75-87.
I'm thinking the Reds pull their usual, remain in contention at the All-Star break, but I'm hoping some of the veterans are removed from the roster in late July and the youngsters take over in August/September to gain experience and give Wayne a chance to evaluate. With development comes losing. I'm thinking they'll be under .500 in the second half.

72-90.
Any team with Dave Williams, Tony Womack, Rich Aurilia and Scott Hatteburg on it cannot be a good thing.
