Pick a number

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

85 wins.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I may be off by one or two from what I posted in the predictions thread, but I think I'll go with 90.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Well, this is a last-chance, no "I didn't realize that Zambrano would twist his panties", etc. opportunity to get your expectations in before the gun goes off. No rooting in this thread, just what you think will happen.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'll stick with 90. I think they should be 7 games better than last year.

[smg58]

88.

really?

What are you, a Met-hater? How'd they get 11 games worse over the off-season?

Hey Brett -- Will 85 wins take the East or not? And if not, give me your division winner, # of wins, and why.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

No. and no Wild Card. Braves first (93) , Phils 2nd (90), Mets 3rd.

Why? The Mets are going to have rotation problems, and keep trading away offensive talent for non-solution veteran starters. I see a trainwreck in September.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I'll go with 87 wins. If Pedro was completely healthy, I would likely up that total by 3-4 more wins. Though the offense should be better than last season, the health of the starting pitching concerns me.

[metirish]

If Pedro does what he did last season then this offence should win more of his quaility starts...last season the Mets were terrible in that.

At the moment, we're not only on pace for 162 wins, but also 162 HR by our 3B, David Wright.

That would make him the youngest player to 200 HR (previously held by Mel Ott, who was 25y 144d).

You heard it here first.

[Guest sharpie]

Nady is on track for 648 hits.

[Edgy MD]

I had him down for that in the predictions thread.

Put some predictions down in the predictions thread. Just as no one will mock metirish for putting a high number for Reyes' OBP, no one will mock your low numbers.
