Around SBN: Phil Mickelson Outshines Tiger Woods

Community Projection: Jason Bay

UPDATE: The Bay projections are now closed.

Obviously, this is a tough one. A plurality of readers think that Bay will be the Pirates' most productive hitter. Of course, Bay could be the Bucs' most productive hitter this year and still be nowhere near as good as he was in '06 and '05.

Let me know what you think in the comments by guessing Bay's 2008 average, on-base percentage, and slugging.

Here are Bay's career numbers.

The Jose Bautista projections are open. Jack Wilson is closed. Here are the results.

NAME POS. COMMUNITY ZiPS
Adam LaRoche 1B .280/.351/.509 .272/.348/.492
Freddy Sanchez 2B .313/.355/.454 .298/.340/.415
Jack Wilson SS .272/.324/.392 .261/.313/.361

Wow, I'm with the community here. ZiPS just hates Wilson. I know he's a middle infielder entering his 30s, and that he wasn't really better than that projection in either '05 or '06, but I can't believe that his '07 doesn't mean anything.

Someone has to play better....

Has anyone looked down their list so far to see our collective team so far? Yikes.

not good this year, I think his slump will continue....

I hope I'm wrong on this one!

Didn't just slip last year, which we can at least attribute to possible injury, but he slipped the year before that, too. I don't think he's as bad as he was last year, tho, so:

The bounceback, but not as far as we'd like.

270/370/470

Though if he's going to continue to watch strike 3 go by with runners on, all bets are off.

A slight bounce back from 2007, but not quite '05 and '06. I wouldn't mind if my numbers were too low however.
