S10 SEASON WIN PREDICTIONS




..... 102 ..... "We hope to repeat as division champs. Not many changes to the team that won ........................... 101 last year other than shoring up the back end of the bullpen. Management ........................... hopes that the hitters remember to bring their bats with them to the playoffs ........................... this year."

..... 96 ..... " Management wasn't happy with results last year. We made the investment in ........................... added salary and feel we have well rounded team. This team will have excellent ........................... pitching along with strong run producing lineup."

..... 95 ..... "This team is not any worse than last season. Another Cy Young winner this season."

..... 95 ..... "The first season in a few that I felt we didn't improve. Hopefully we can stand pat ........................... and still take the AL West, with a playoff bye as a bonus."

..... 91 ..... "Better pitching will finally lead me to a Wild Card spot."

..... 90 ..... "We will make the playoffs, but our age will start to catch up to us."

..... 90 ..... "I am optimistic this season."

..... 90 ..... "I think Syracuse was really hurt by their pitching last year. This year that has .......................... improved. Unfortunately the offense won't be quite as good since there have been .......................... no real upgrades and the returning players are on the downside of their .......................... improvement curve. There is not a lot of good prospects in the minors, so this .......................... year had better be a good one."

..... 88 ..... "Third place in my division. Again."

..... 87 ..... "Success in the post season has become the new goal for this franchise."

..... 87 ..... " My hope is the 3 or 4 younger guys I played last season take another step in their .......................... 2nd year and give me the offense we need to take the division."

..... 87 ..... "Milwaukee had a tough off-season. As we wait for young talent to mature we will .......................... slip to 87 wins and probably 2nd in the AL North, possibly a wild card."

..... 86 ..... "86 wins this year.....and hopefully 4 in a row!!"

..... 85 ..... "This team will go as far as their pitching will carry them."

..... 85 ..... "I think we will have a decent season and hopefully will make the playoffs this year."

..... 85 ..... "The offense and depth have received huge upgrades. Will it be enough to overcome .......................... the bullpen losses?"

..... 85 ..... "We avoided significant injuries and had a couple of career seasons last season. I .......................... can't expect both of those things to continue."

..... 84 ..... "A step back as I start the rebuilding phase."

..... 83 ..... "This team looks like it took a big step back last year. I'm ditching small ball and .......................... going for the fences."

..... 83 ..... "In the playoff hunt until about 5 games to go. Injuries/lack of depth wreck my .......................... playoff chances."

..... 82 ..... "I feel the trades I made last season and the pickups I made in FA have made my .......................... team a little more well rounded."

..... 82 ..... "Time to get relevant again!"

..... 82 ..... "Can my hitters hit?"

..... 81 ..... "Skies limp to the finish-line....again."

..... 80 ..... "We're in the middle of a makeover in an attempt to combine our talented young .......................... prospects with the prime of Nicholas Lanier's career."

..... 80 ..... "We were right on the mark last season and steadily trying to continue that .......................... improvement with the development of some young guys, but were hit hard with .......................... the injury to Dan May."

..... 80 ..... "This year we added some to the pitching staff kept most of the lineup intact. So this .......................... is the year we are giving a guarantee to our fans that we will climb out of the cellar."

..... 78 ..... "After a disastrous S9 campaign, expectations are not high in Las Vegas. The influx of .......................... young players continues before the big bats hit in S11 and S12."

..... 72 ..... "Trenton is trying to retool the farm system while stay competitive."

..... 71 ..... "Chicago will continue to improve this year, but are not quite ready to make it over .......................... the hump into playoff contention."

..... 65 ..... "I predict a 1 win improvement over last year thanks to the non-improvement of my .......................... team over last year. can someone say what a wasted season?"

..... 55 ..... "This is a make or break season for Memphis.... either we win the 55 or ownerships .......................... sells out to a group led by Cloris Leachman and Betty White."
