2010 Brewer Prediction

[DatHoser]

I second that. Outstanding!

 

Now predict the next manager http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I don't know why, because usually I am a pessimist, but I think that for a change, a lot going to break right for this team. No significant injuries, the offense clicks, the starters get the job done well enough until mid-season when another fairly big name arm is picked up. I'm going to say that both Fielder and Weeks end up in Top 10 of the MVP voting. Next to weeks, Zaun is the surprise of the year (channeling Eddie Perez)- having a career year at the plate, I'm going to say at least 12 home runs. Braun will have kind of a down year a la Fielder in 2008, but still put up numbers that would be great for most players. Hart will continue to struggle and be supplanted by mid season by Gerut, who will put up solid numbers. Gallardo will log an entire season, winning 17 games. Parra will end up having a surprisingly solid season after a slow start. Wolf will be solid, but not spectacular, Doug Davis will struggle however. The bullpen will be mostly solid as well. I guess the key word here is 'solid'.

 

I'm going to say 94-68, 1st in the division, 4 games ahead of the Cubs.

I was waiting for someone to bump this. I don't think that I could have been any more wrong. Should have stayed the pessimist....

Well, at least my dad will be buying me a beer.

I said they were probably an 81 win team but I guessed they'd fall on the +4 end and end up 85. I guessed the wrong way http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

Also I think Fatter than Joey deserves honorable mention for predicting 78 wins in 2010 (1 win off) after correctly predicting 80 wins in 2009. This is the guy I will be looking to at the start of 2011.

[WestSideWillie]

I love the 90 plus win guys! Enjoy.

[WestSideWillie]

80-82, strength up the middle, compare to 09, worse at catcher with Zaun...

How can Zaun be any worse than Kendall? Zaun would have to be spectacularly craptastic for him to be worse than Jason Kendall.

 

Edit: Should probably add my prediction. 89-73.

[TooLiveBrew]

I'd pat you on the back, but you seem to have that covered. And Zaun was easily better than Kendall, obv. he got hurt.

 

 

EDIT: Wow. I just actually checked how bad Kendall was this season. .615 OPS, and he somehow managed to get 490 PAs.

[Tbadder]

I think I win the prize for worst prediction of the year. My claim that "RF is a blackhole" probably couldn't have turned out worse. I'll have one extra beer tonight for bit of stupidity.

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif Zaun actually managed to put up more WAR than Kendall in 1/4 the PA's.

 

Gotta love OBP < SLG!

 

Well, I had 85-77 as a fan and 81-81 as an objective observer. So, I guess I predicted 83-79.

[ELCABALLO45]

I said 81 in 2009, ended up being 80.

 

I said 78 in 2010, ended up being 77.

 

Next year I am guessing 120.

77, actually, which (if your future predictions follow the same pattern) would suggest good news if you guess 120 in 2011. But you knew that. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Just trying to trick myself into a extra win this year.
