Official Royals Win Loss Record Prediction Thread 

Season has started, no more guesses!

Hey all, thought I'd get this in so we could get our predictions in before spring training games began. Just give me your prediction, and I'll update this post to list everyone's (valid) prediction. Your guess must be clear and total 162 to be included

Updated 2013.04.01 at 3:36pm, added oltrex, conmo1, EvilBadMadman, kinsleycat, HRoeBartle, and trev1980. RubberBandCat, your guess came in after first pitch. Should we put it to a vote?

The following guesses are still invalid:

• MizzouLou, 94-85, doesn't add up to 162
• Blueglasses, 85-79, also doesn't add up to 162

Total guesses: 65
Most common: 83-79, 7 of 59 (10.77%)
44 of 65 people (67.69%) think we'll have a win total in the 80's.

RE: Official Royals Win Loss Record Prediction Thread 

Since it's February, I'm going to shoot high knowing I'll be disappointed.  87-75 with Royals in contention until end of September.  Reasons to be optimistic: 
1,  The rotation is better than in the past and Shields is legit at the top of rotation. 
2.  Santana playing for a FA contract will motivation and spur him to his ceiling. 
3.  KC bullpen continues to improve with the hard throwers finding their stride. 
4. Hosmer, Escobar, Perez and Moustakas have matured another year. 
5.  Dayton is on the hot seat so instead of standing pat and watching the season go down the tubes, he'll be active in trying to help team win instead of playing for the farm system. 
6  KC has some pitching talent that could help by end of year if they develop - Lamb, Ventura, Dwyer and maybe even Zimmer. 
7.  Ned really believes Luke will turn the corner

Reasons to be realistic:  Well, it's the Royals.  'Nuff said.

Why be pessimistic in February?  Let's wait until late April

Is that like clamydia?

Closer to the fever that only cow bell can cure:

  

Sorry to derail the thread...carry on!!
