Completely homerish, but It's that time of the year...

1. 64 ( On the thinking that they get 55-60 out of Hutch/Morrow )
2. 11
3. No
4. Bautista, Encarnacion, Morrow
5. Yes, unfortunately
6. Encarnacion... Bautista will be close but Encarnacion's BABIP is not going to be .247 again.
7. Morrow
8. Yes, slightly above .800

1. How many Blue Jay starts from the trio of Morrow, Hutch, and Dusty? 59
2. How many big league games does Marcus Stroman start? 7
3. Will more than 11 Jays pitchers start at least one game? Yes
4. Which Jay(s) make the all-star team? Bautista, Edwin, Reyes
5. Will Ryan Goins start the most games at 2B for the Jays this year? I'm torn on this, it all depends on a trade. Initially I said Yes, but I think I'm going to say no (trade). He'll play the most games if there's no trade.
6. Who will have the highest OBP in > 400 plate appearances Bautista
7. Which pitcher will have the highest number of strikeouts? Hutchison (due to midseason firesale)
8. Will Brett Lawrie have a break-out season (OPS > .800 in > 400 plate appearances) at the plate? Yes, will hit close to .300
9. Net change in WAR from the catcher position this year (starting from -1.2 WAR in 2013), within 1 WAR? +2.5 - I'm guessing catcher WAR will be around 1.2
10. How will AL East finish this year? Yankees, Tampa, Orioles, Red Sox, Jays - I think Red Sox and Orioles can interchange

I don't have any guesses for most of these predictions, other than picking the Jays to win between 81-85 games.

2. 0 (I could say 5, to increase my chances of getting points, but this is what I genuinely think. I don't care much for points.)
3. No, not that many. But close. Maybe 10.

We will win roughly 78 games.

This thread is about to get a lot more pessimistic. I can't be bothered to fill in all of these, I'd just like to go on record as saying the Jays will go 79-83 this year.
