2016 Orioles Wins Poll

[Frobby]

Apologies to OFFNY, since this is sort of redundant of his thread, but I wanted to have a poll we could look back on later. Mods, feel free to merge these.

I see mid-80s, let's say 86. I think the offense mashes as expected. The starting pitching rebounds decently--enough to stay in contention but not enough to make a great push for the division title. Wild Card contenders.

[O's84]

The offense will be above average with all the power up and down the line up and the defense and bullpen will be very good. I picked 81-84 wins however, because I don't think the starting pitching will be good enough but I of course would be happy to be wrong.

[LookitsPuck]

77 wins.

[survivedc]

I voted 89-92. I think we will have a really good second half, maybe making a trade for a TOR and Bundy making a few starts down the stretch in September. Fight with the Jays for the division.

[Old#5fan]

89 wins but not enough to make playoffs. Miss by two games.

[MDtransplant757]

I voted 89-92. Gausman is the next coming of Mike Mussina, Chris Tillman should be good, if he avoids the DL. Gallardo and Ubaldo should be good as well. Tyler Wilson would be my #5 and Mike Wright would be in the pen. Pen, defense and offense will be solid.

[25 Nuggets]

85-77 is my prediction. Which of course is correct.

[maybenxtyr]

I voted 73-76 because the starting pitching is just not good enough. I also do not like some of the reports about the clubhouse not being as cohesive as years past.

[Sessh]

I voted 77-80 wins. The offense and starting pitching will be streaky, but rarely will both be going well at the same time. I think the bullpen will be strong all season and the D should be strong as well. I am concerned also

about our ability to stay healthy in the right places and in many cases not having great options for back up plans due to a shallow farm system. I feel like this is one of those seasons that could go bad in a hurry and the

offseason problems we've had that have affected the clubhouse negatively (Gonzo) and the other problems we don't yet know about don't help matters any. Also, keeping Kim and not playing him will also mean we're

playing with 24 guys and who knows what effect that might have in the Orioles clubhouse. I would be surprised if we were anywhere within six games of the WC when it's all said and done. There's just too many questions.

A lot of things have to go right for the Orioles to be good this season and they very well may do just that, but I would be very surprised (pleasantly) if the Orioles are legit contenders in September.

Looking at our rotation, it's hard to realistically see us winning more than 83 games. But maybe Dan will go sign someone.

It's so hard to predict this before seeing any games IMO. Really hard.

Yeah, I think I can do a much better job after all the games have been played. But it's not as fun.

[Ohfan67]

I voted for 93 wins. It's the day before the season starts and it's a beautiful spring morning at my house. No rationale thought was used to development that prediction.

[foxfield]

Count me in at 85+. Lot's of reasons to be wrong, but if we pitch at all, we are going to be pretty darn good.
