Enter
your best guess, over or under,
for the Dodger output for the 2012 regular season.  I've made some wild guesses for 2012, and you predict whether my number is over or under the
final season count.  Any game that counts in the regular season (e.g., a
one-game playoff to decide a post season berth) will be included.  No
prizes, just for fun.

OVER (I think Frank causes a few speed bumps before this is said and done)

Days After Sale is Complete Before Ned Colletti
is relieved of GM duties--30

OVER (If ownership is not figured out within the first month of the season, which i fear like it may not be, a new owner may let Ned finish out the season.  Unless the new guy already feels like someone in the organization is ready to jump in i.e. Logan White.

Way, WAY over.  The Padres sale just went complete recently and hasn't even been voted on.  This process takes a ridiculous amount of time.  We'll have a new owner identified, but the sale won't be complete for a while.

Days After Sale is Complete Before Ned Colletti
is relieved of GM duties--30

So hard to handicap this, because it depends on the ownership group, but I think under.  New ownership almost always wants a new GM and Colletti is a laughingstock of MLB ... he's been constrained financially, but anyone with half a brain knows that he's made some piss poor decisions without constraints and some even worse ones with constraints.

Regular Season Wins--84

Under.  Rotation needs Billingsley to step up AND one of Lilly/Capuano/Harang.  UGH.  Lineup SUCKS.  BP is a strength, but that's just not enough.

Matt Kemp Home Runs--32

Over.  Easy.

Clayton Kershaw WHIP--1.05

Under.  Back-to-back Cy Youngs.

James Loney BA--.285

Under.  James Loney will melt down for the first 45 days and be DFA'd.

Chad Billingsley ERA--3.90

Under.  Billz rights the ship.

Number of Games Before Caupano or Harang Land on the DL--60

Under.  I think there's a good chance that one of them don't make it out of ST ... they're both like 40.

Juan Uribe OPS+--77

Over.  Somehow, this schmuck will bounce back.

Dee Gordon SB's--38

Over.  I'm gonna go with 50+.

Dodger Stadium Paid Attendance--3,100,001

Way over ... people will be excited to be able to go back to the park.

Andre Ethier OPS--.840

Under.  This year everyone realizes that Ethier is super brittle, whiny and overvalued.  Should have been traded by now.

Kenley Jansen Saves—15

Under.  I like Guerra to keep the job all year and do an acceptable job.

Javy Guerra Saves—15

Over.  See above.

Don Mattingly Ejections—2

Over.  Mattingly is going to be VERY frustrated with this team in 2012.

Ted Lilly HR’s Allowed—25

Over.  Ted Lilly SUCKS and is damn OLD.  This sucks.

Days on 25-man roster for Nathan Eovaldi--95

Tough call, but I'll say under.  I think he'll make 10+ starts over several stints filling in for broken down pieces of meat, but those pieces of meat will still log some decent innings.  He'll be terrible the first time he comes up and settle down for his second sting.

Anybody else care to venture a guess here?  Is my number over or under the eventual one?
