S13 SEASON WIN PREDICTIONS

..............................................................................................................................................................................

..... 100 ..... "Looking to break the 100 win barrier for the franchise's first time."

..... 99 ..... "..because 100 would be impolite."

..... 98 ..... "We bolstered our bullpen and lineup this offseason, that added to our returning .......................... rotation should help this team advance deeper into the playoffs this year."

..... 97 ..... "The defending champions will take one more shot at a ring this year before our age .......................... and Cincinnati's youth cause us to retool a bit."

..... 95 ..... "After losing in the World Series, I think the Soul have mad some decent moves that .......................... have made the line up much stronger, and maybe this season we can finally win it .......................... all."

..... 92 ..... "I have a tough pitching staff that stayed mostly intact and added some hopefully .......................... more potent bats to give my offense some more teeth…"

..... 92 ..... "We get back up over 90 wins, thanks to the important additions of Luis Trevino and .......................... Pedro Crespo."

..... 91 ..... "All major components of the team that made it to the NLCS return plus the addition .......................... of Cole Davenport rounds out a strong starting rotation, led by the defending NL Cy .......................... Young award winner."

..... 89 ..... "Another year of mediocrity. The Voodoo need to change divisions."

..... 88 ..... "The Injuries to my old people are gonna be tough to overcome."

..... 88 ..... "After a surprising playoff berth last season, this team is ready to continue that as we .......................... move towards even bigger things in the next couple seasons."

..... 87 ..... "I'm hoping last year was the aberration and my team is better than they performed."

..... 86 ..... "Sigh, I may be a glutton for punishment on these predictions. But I believe last .......................... season was an aberration and this team needed tweaking. I think we're greatly .......................... improved through trade and FA."

..... 85 ..... "The team has gotten more power and that should help us compete against the .......................... power hitting teams in the division."

..... 85 ..... "GM/manager screw up just enough to keep skies out of playoffs."

..... 85 ..... "Carlos Martis enters his first full ML season. Can he be the piece that puts the Padres .......................... over the top?"

..... 84 ..... "Looking forward to another disappointing season."

..... 84 ..... "I think that the Rochester faithful will be happy with the improved starting pitching, .......................... offense and defense. The pitching will have to carry the club."

..... 83 ..... "Hopefully the odd year curse does not hit again, as pitching reinforcements finally .......................... start arriving."

..... 83 ..... "Hoping for a bounce back season from my bullpen and Hank Hall."

..... 81 ..... "Chicago finally reaches .500!"

..... 81 ..... "81 or bust!"

..... 81 ..... "The Rangers are looking for a small improvement over last year but could make a .......................... move to put them in contention."

..... 78 ..... "I still lack a power hitter in the middle of the lineup and my rotation is weak at the .......................... back end."

..... 73 ..... "This is a team that will hopefully make some strides in the right directions this year."

..... 72 ..... "Continuing disappointment while prospect develop."

..... 70 ..... "..just because it seems like a safe number right now!"

..... 70 ..... "We are in rebuilding mode."

..... 69 ..... "The fans here in Montreal want a winner and they are going to get it........just not .......................... this year."

..... 68 ..... NO STATEMENT

..... 60 ..... "Rebuild rebuild rebuild...."

..... 55 ..... "I will not use the term rebuilding because that is just a word to excuse losing. We will .......................... try to win our division!"
