I think the marlins will have about 12 more wins then last season.what do you guys think?.better or worse record?

12 more wins based on what?

 

I suppose its possible they win more if people play out of their mind but 12 games better is out of the question for me.

12 more wins would be a .500 team. At most I think we win in the 75 range.

Playoffs.

I think we'll be better, but not by much. Like 3 games.

76-86 is what I predict. 7 game improvement.

For us to win 12 more games, Stanton will have to up his game a little from last year and Hechevarria, Brantly and Turner will all need to be at the top of the rookie class. Don't forget you have AAAAers like Solano and Joe Mahoney and old guys like Polanco and Pierre starting on this team. Not saying it can't happen but unlikely.

 

I'd put it at about 90 losses. It'll be a very similar record.

Don't forget, there's a whole new coaching staff that may have a decent influence here. Redmond was very successful in the Minors in his two seasons as a manager. Let's hope that carries over, as well as Tino being able to teach these guys how to hit properly.

I'm hoping for a bounce back season for Lomo and Stanton stays healthy.

Exactly equal.

I think that an 81-81 season is very unlikely. They'll probably lose 93 games again +/- 2.

At this point, LoMo would just have a breakout rather than bounce back. Not much for him to bounce back from, ya know?

I think gizmo was referring to his rookie year. But I don't know how you could consider that a bounce back.

I think that an 81-81 season is very unlikely. They'll probably lose 93 games again +/- 2.

Exactly equal referring to the topic title... meaning exactly equal to last season.

Pitching will be the key and the new Marlins are sorely lacking in 2013.

 

Hopefully the usefull experience needed to improve a very young staff will accompany the coming pain.

162-0.

I'm thinking 70-75 wins realistically.

I was responding to the first post of this thread.

After a 100 million-dollar-bust that won 69 games, who cares?

 

These guys will be fun to watch, no matter how much they lose. If they somehow manage to hang in there past June, they might even be exciting.

 

I'll be watching every game, all the way to the end. Expecting the worst, but hoping for the best.

So a ball club that sucks is more exciting to watch because they make less money than other ball clubs that suck?

Who said anything about money?

Who said anything about money?

Well, uh, you did...

Well, OK. My point was that this assortment of guys is going to be fun to watch because they might surprise everyone, never mind how little they're being paid.

I also feel that watching youngins develop -- and speculating about their respective futures -- can be a lot of fun.

For what it's worth, I agree. Last year's team was pretty boring.
