2010 Fan Projections

Fangraphs is implementing a fan based projection system for 2010. Once a set number of ballots are cast (I think ~30), the projections will begin appearing on the player pages.

Must be broken

It would not let me project TPJ’s batting average below .200.

Assuming that the largest block of votes for Royals players will come from Royals fans, I wonder which community projection for a Royals player will be the farthest away from the projection systems. Of the likely returning Royals, my guess would be Gordon (pessimistic) and Callaspo (optimistic), with honorable mention to Maier.

Of the soon-to-be former Royals, I would guess Jacobs (pessimistic) and Olivo (optimistic).

I Could Deal

With .234 and .333, but .259 and the fact that he’s a bad fielder makes him a true millstone around this franchise’s neck. TPJJ would represent a massive upgrade, and that’s insane. Another sunk cost.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

My Yuni prediction

Betancourt will have an early hot streak like Bloomquist last year, which will be followed by “Rethinking the Betancourt Trade” media stories sometime in May, followed by a steady decline of Betancourt’s offensive and defensive performance in June and July, followed by a lot of comments next August that “I thought Betancourt was having an OK year but, man, his numbers are almost as bad as last year,” and capped by the decline of his option in October.
