87 wins. Last year was awesome, but not expected. I think they will re-gress a bit, but look out 2012.

Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

When all is said and done more is said than done.
Well, I'll stick to my earlier prediction.

I'm not going to predict a WS victory...but I think we'll at least get there.

The Reds will suffer without a true leadoff hitter and a rotation that is seemingly in flux all year with injuries.
The Central is tougher overall this year, so the 89 wins actually takes the division.
Rising Star: Mesoraco
Crash 'n' Burn: Bailey (will not be back with the Reds next year)
90 wins
Bruce takes a giant leap forward, Stubbs struggles a bit. Votto has another great year, though not as great as his MVP season of a year ago. Rolen wanes; Phillips has his best year since his first in Cincinnati. Most importantly, Francisco, Sappelt, Mesoraco, and others keep the Reds from struggling so badly, as depth is once again key to an NL Central title.
Yorman Rodriguez, Billy Hamilton, Yasmani Grandal, Ronald Torreyes, and Kyle Lotzkar all become Top 100 prospects next season, with Rodriguez and Hamilton mentioned in the Top 25.
The Cards struggle, the Brewers are okay, The Pirates and Atros are bad, but the surprise of the division is the second-place Cubs.
74 wins.
Injuries bite our fav team. Dusty is let go. RZ needs heavy moderation in the ORG.
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
87 wins. Regression will out.
"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
