86-76
I can't bring myself to predict a losing season for the Reds at this time of year. IIRC this makes at least the ninth straight year I've predicted a non-losing record for the Reds; some year I am going to be right!

"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
There seems to be a huge potential range of results for the team this year. Anywhere from 60 to 100 wins could be argued. The high end is if the Reds start well, get good fan support, management is willing to pick up some salary at the break. Strong finish.
The low end involves a slow start, Rolen gets hurt, team gets very young, Harang and Arroyo struggle or get hurt, rest of starters mediocre. Team dumps salary at the deadline by trading Phillips (replacing with Frazier) to be able to move one of the higher cost pitchers. Limp home.
I will settle on 87-75.
86 wins and a very exciting year for reds fans!
I'm gonna go for it -- 92 wins and the Central crown.
