We would have to go 38-28. Out of the question? No. Plausible? Ehh...it will be very difficult. Maybe we will pad our win total by screwing over the Mets in September.
80 wins shouldn't have been in the question to start with. 70+ should be the goal.
42-54 is a .438 (.4375) winning %. 70 wins would be an 11 game improvement over last year with a .432 winning %. This team is right where it should be. Improve by 11 wins in 2011 to 81-81 and by the time most of the young talent is hitting it's prime the team is ready to add a major piece or two and a legitimate playoff contender for a few years at least.
