How Many Wins in 2003?

[MarylandMan]

Hopefully we can get more than a couple people to vote on this, with objective opinions! The eternal optimist, I really think we can finish over .500 with all these young kids. But I'm not gonna go so far as to say we can be a playoff team just yet. I've heard some analysts saying we will still finish with over 90 losses, which is of course possible, so what does everyone think?

I'm with you . I voted 80-90. I think they'll finish over .500.

:D

:thumbsup:

(I'm sure Willie and Ray and maybe Ren and perhaps PP and James will vote...... if I have to go over and twist their arms, they'll vote..... :2guns: )

I voted 70-80 wins. Your starting rotation is still inconsistent although it is improving. I don't see Mora hitting like he has for the last couple of weeks all season and your defense has already costs you a couple of games.

Not trying to bag or anything, just trying to be objective. I do think the Orioles are on their way up. You've got a good closer and some good young pitching that will hopefully improve. Jerry Hairston is turning into a good leadoff hitter and Gibbons is giving the pop a team needs.

IMO

This team impresses me, I voted 70-80, but I wouldnt be surprised if they hit over 80. They will when they get Adam Loewen :D

Voted 70-80, hopeful for 80-85 ... 80 exactly sticks with me for some reason.

Not bad if Bawlmer can get into the 80-85 range ... I don't expect Houston to do much better and the Astros are spending more $$$ to do it.

Well at least nobody expects us to lose 100 games so far... thats a good sign!
