Especially once James Shields falls in our lap.

Still too early for predictions, but if Hoyer is right about the roster not changing much from where it is now, I'll say 86 wins.

As of now ... 78 wins.  But obviously too early to put in predictions.  Many here have way too much faith in rookies.

Agree about the rookies.

Im pretty confident in Bryant and Soler and to an extent AA but I dont see how you can realistically expect anything from Baez.

There is one thing you can expect from Baez this season -- that he will not break with the major league team.  Many here have problems with that.

Probably the same ones that heard that Obama was toast.

Too early to say but I'm much more optimistic than I have been in many a year.

I'll guess 85.  (Shot at 90 if things go right; maybe 75-78 wins if things don't.)

Too early to predict.

But how about a REAL contest?  How many strikeouts will Baez have in the MLs this season?

Incorporates so many trendy variables, like:
1. Will Baez break with the team?
2. Will Baez be useful enough to get significant ML playing time?
3. If so, will he suddenly develop a different  batting philosophy?
4. Can toast lay off the high fastball

Predicting wins has a 0-162 spread.  Predicting Baez ML Ks could range anywhere from zero to Adam Dunn.

I would bet on Baez at 50 K's or less in the majors this season.  I think there is a very good chance he will not be called back up until September, and breaking 50 K's in September play alone might be impressive even for Baez.

"It's too early to predict" is assumed.  These are preliminary guesses, subject to revision during spring training.  It's just something else to talk about while things are slow.
