I did it for the Pittsburgh Penguins and now I'm making bold predictions for the Pittsburgh Pirates' season.
If you read that post, you know I kind of suck at this, so take this with a grain of salt. I'm not saying these things will happen. I'm saying I think they have a legit shot at happening. Big difference.
- James McDonald wins 14 games and has an ERA below 3.50
- Pedro Alvarez hits 30 home runs and strikes out 180 times
- Andrew McCutchen hits 20 bombs and steals 30 bases
- Jose Tabata bats .315 with 10+ homers and 30 steals
- Lyle Overbay will hit .275
- Ross Ohlendorf will win nine games and have a sub 4.00 ERA
- Ryan Doumit will... nevermind. There is nothing positive to say about him
- Joel Hanrahan will save 35 games
- The team will finish with 71 wins
Go Bucs.

I think the only predictions I would bet against are the James McDonald and Ross Ohlendorf ones. I have no faith in our starters.
ReplyDeleteMy bold prediction (I was about 10 beers in at the time) is that James McDonald will throw a no hitter at PNC Park.
-The media will completely overemphasize Hurdle's energy as a manager, due to Russell coming before him. (I think it'll help, but it'll be way overblown).
ReplyDelete-Infield defense will be in the top half of the league, after being dead last in 2010.
-Walker will hit .275, but take a lot more walks and hit 20HR.
-Chaz Morton will end up with over 100Ks
