    If the wheels fall off like last year (regarding health), this team is shooting for .500

    But if the squad stays relatively healthy as compared to the average MLB team, I think they win 89-92 games.

    if the team doesn’t have any significant injuries or IL stints, the team wins 96-98 games.

    You heard it hear first. Not looking so good to start and don't see a pitcher fix anytime soon.

    Crane needs to sell the team or go hire luhnow again.

    Ouch. I am wrong a lot everywhere but my posts in this thread are almost embarrassing. On balance the offense is close to on track with my total, but I was way too bullish on Imai, Burrows, and Abreu
