Ok so things have been going really well for some reason, and the Jays are on the cusp of winning a 6th straight game. This was unexpected, and i chalk a lot of up to the quick exit of Tallet from the rotation, Eveland's being a better than average #5 starter and the crazy slugging the team is doing as a whole.
Anyways, i think 70 wins is a pretty reasonable expectation now, but i wouldn't be surprised if they still end up at 60 somehow. Anywhere around a .500 record would be crazy.
I'm still going to go back to my belief that the only starter who should come close to 200 innings this season is Romero. The Jays are really playing with fire if they let Marcum go over 180IP, and nobody else on the staff should even be considered. If they don't do this there might be a "gaudy" win total this season but there will be suffering in years to come. You need look no farther, but there's a whole list if you want it. This assumes Eveland is going to get traded, he should be able to handle a full 30 start season, even though i think it will be better to strike while the iron is hot.
Of course if the teams keeps slugging at top 3 in the AL all season then 70 wins should be easy, but what are the chances of that?
