As fans usually do in the offseason, we've discussed at length how we think various players will perform in 2009.  There's been a lot of talk about statistical projection systems, age, injury, park and league changes, etc.  I thought it might be interesting for us to do a community projection for each Royals player using our hearts, guts and heads.  Actually, use whatever you want.  Use the player's stats, projections, tools, age, attitude, grit, shoe size, whatever.  I'm going to provide a little info for each player and you can let your conscience be your guide.  Your "votes" will be averaged into a community projection for each player, then devil_fingers and I will sprinkle some sabermetric fairy dust on them and come up with a run and win value for each player and then see how many games such a team would win.

(If you click on the player's name, it will take you to his Fangraphs.com page which includes, among other things, his CHONE, Marcel and Bill James projections)

For each player, predict the following stats:

AB

AVG

OBP

SLG

HR

RBI

SB

CS

Billy Butler

Mike Jacobs

Ryan Shealy

Ross Gload
