Over/Under Game

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we can get back to baseball... except that for us Reds fans, we likely won't have any actual news to discuss - it'll mainly be longing for a decent SS or another good outfielder.
As such, I propose a game. I know I'm pirating the game off an SB blog that I follow, though I'm not sure if it is this one or another one. However, since I am no longer in school, I'm not naming my source!
It goes like this, I propose an over/under. The first responder gives his/her opinion, and proposes his/her own over/under. It could be anything from player production and statistics, # pitchers Dusty sends to the DL, attendence, other teams' wins, etc. If you feel so inclined, give a little reason for your opinion.
So, batting leadoff is the following over/under:
Jay Bruce, 30 HR's.

With the financial crisis the Reds aren’t going to want to get rid of Dusty and throw his contract out the window. ack…

it's actually easier if everyone does new posts instead of replying to the thread above.
that lack of reply-discipline may actually be helpful for this!
