I wouldn't be surprised if they popped over 90. However, Pollack's elbow has me worried and our #'s 4 & 5 in the rotation remain unsettled...

So, put me down for 88.

4 and 5 unsettled due to who is better? What a delimma. Put me down for 90 wins and I will probably be way low.

Kinda... Ruby has been inconsistent - same as last season. And Archie has struggled and got bombed yesterday... Ray has looked the best of the three.

Totally agree about Ray. And Archie could soon be starting instead of Robby. JMHO. Love hearing what everyone else thinks.

90. And I agree wih 82CardsGrad that Archie won't win the #5 starting spot. He looked a little gun shy when a line drive was hit up the middle, following his horrible injury.

I have been hit by a line drive the face twice, but I think he is ready to go.

archie will be fine.

this is a tough prediction this year.. no way we're the top offensive team in baseball again, but the pitching has improved.. hmm..

85 wins.

edit: i'm so indecisive. 91 wins.

edit: final edit and prediction before opening day, with pollock out.. 86 wins. final answer, lock it in.

Vying for best record in ball. 93-69 or better.
This is one of the most complete teams in the game, now. Nice job on someone's part, two years after being historically lousy.

Great young talent emerging on the Cards, Dbacks, and Coyotes. Let's hope the Suns get with it.

Going with 89. Would say higher, but being in the NL west is an absolute grind. So many good teams in the division

93-69. Yes, we picked up Greinke & Miller, but I believe Corbin will be an absolute beast this season.

We haven't won more than 81 games in 4 years so I'll say 82.


Everyone boo the villain. :p

90-72 but that won't be enough to win the NL West, they will be in the fight for a Wild Card though

18 & 4 thus far in Cactus League play...Leading in runs scored... which of course means squat.

The back end of our rotation is a serious issue. Bradley is gone. Ruby is getting his ***** lit up and even Robby Ray looked awful yesterday.
