Here are mine:
1) 2011 Saves: (Masset + Chapman) > Cordero
2) Alonso is still in the organization on August 1st...Mesoraco is not.
3) We see Strasburg on the field in 2011 before Chase Utley.
* Bonus - A "Heisey vs Gomes" thread is started before May 1.
1) One of Heisey/Sappelt has the LF and leadoff job locked down by August.
2) Mesoraco starts off big, makes it to MLB, Hernandez is traded/released.
3) Brandon Phillips comes up big in a contract year.
On another note with the catchers, what about, if for the next couple years, we keep Hernandez around in Corky's role and dump Corky. I love the stache, but it seems like Hernandez could fill his role with a good bit more offensive production.

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
Hernandez is no doubt the better of the two players, but he would likely not accept a demotion to AAA and I hope the Reds don't carry 3 catchers.Originally Posted by Redsfan320
That being said, having Hernandez as the C/1B, is about as desirable as keeping Cairo on the bench to be 3b/1b. That being said, if Mes tears up AAA for a few months, the Reds will likely deal Hernandez as he is definitely a starting catcher in the major leagues,
It's not a contract year for Brandon. Reds hold an option.
1. Heisey becomes starting LF'er and hits 20 HR's
2. Chapman is inconsistent as a reliever and is sent to Louisville to work on starting
3. The replacement for an injured Rolen ends up being Frazier and not Francisco
1) Cordero is not a Red by season's end
2) Jay Bruce tops the 30 home run plateau
3) Someone in baseball has a 40 game hitting streak
2009 Attendance Record: 3-5 2010 Attendance Record: 2-9 2015 Attendance Record: 2-0
2011 Attendance Record: 3-4 2012 Attendance Record: 3-4
2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1
I hope all three of these come true (especially if No. 3 is a Red)

Votto wins back to back MVPs.
Dunn hits 50 home runs.
There will be five or more perfect games during season and post season
1.) Cordero bounces back and has a solid season giving us one heck of a bullpen.
2.) Jay Bruce finishes top 10 in MVP voting.
3.) Scott Rolen does not play 100 games
"Today was the byproduct of us thinking we can come back from anything." - Joey Votto after blowing a 10-1 lead and holding on for the 12-11 win on 8/25/2010.
Reds fail to win 70 games
Jay Bruce posts an OPS below .700
Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey combine to make less than 6 starts

But they win the other 92, right?

Not gonna happen. Coco is Dusty's closer regardless of what happens.2) Alonso is still in the organization on August 1st...Mesoraco is not.
That depends entirely on Hernandez's health
3) We see Strasburg on the field in 2011 before Chase Utley.
Might be right...

Bruce leaps to 40-HR level, OPS of 1.000 and finishes second in MVP voting.
Gomes defies most of us and turns in a season worthy of starting most of the time, OPSing about .835 and hitting 27 HR.
Sam Lecure, not Mike Leake, is the one who solidifies the rotation in August when one Volquez implodes for the last time and is demoted to the bullpen.
1. Juan Francisco gets 300 ABs with 15 HR and an OPS above .800 solidifying the offense and offsetting the drop from Rolen.
2. Paul Janish fails to OPS above .600 and is replaced by Zach Cozart mid season who hits 8 HR and steals 10 bases with an OPS above .750 in the second half with no noticable drop-off defensively.
3. With an eye toward spending his golden years with his family, Walt Jocketty announces his resignation effective at the end of 2011 and Bill Bavasi is named as his replacement.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
No because of injury. Yes on Janish and no to Cozart because of injury.
Still TBD on Jocketty.
