How far out are we from Epstein's initial suicide attempt?

I would have won if they had won 16 more games.

Yes you did.

At least two of them, in fact.

Ill say 70-92.

At least we wont lose 100.

Then, before spring training or any real personnel moves, you felt they improved.

They look to me about like a 76-86 team.

I guessed 66 too, but decided not to post it until now.

I'm tempted to say 60 because this team just has no expectations at all coming into this season and knows it has nothing to play for.

Maybe Castro and Rizzo will improve enough and maybe the pitching will be good enough to get this team to 65 wins, though. 

I'll say 65.

The pitching will be horrible.  I'll say 63.

69 I think the pitching won't be as bad as some think

I think on paper, they're weaker than last year...but I think they also underachieved a lot last year due to a bad bullpen and fluky bad clutch stats.  Baseball Prospectus' adjusted standings report indicates they could have been a 74-76 win team last year if they had not run into so much negative variance. 

With an improved bullpen, better luck, and the chance to improve as the season goes on as prospects make their debuts, I'm going to go out on a limb and saying 72 wins.
