Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Community Projection: Xavier Nady

by Charlie Wilmoth on Feb 14, 2008 6:43 PM EST in News

UPDATE: The Nady projections are now closed.

How will X perform in 2008? He set career highs in a number of statistical categories in 2007, but many fans still thought he underperformed. It'll be interesting to see if those folks turn out and post here. Whether they do or not, I predict a large disparity between our projections and ZiPS'. (And don't go look before you guess!)

You know the drill - leave a comment with your guess for Nady's 2008 average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage.

Here are Nady's career stats.

Jason Bay is still open. Jose Bautista 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
Jose Bautista	3B	.261/.342/.433	.249/.329/.415

Bautista is acceptable if he matches our projection, but if he hits like ZiPS thinks he will, he increases the likelihood that Neil Walker will be the Bucs' third baseman in 2009.

Nady

270/320/450

He's peaked, and at 107 OPS+ it wasn't much. Plus his BB rate is terrible.

Vlad,

Yikes, brother, we must be psychic. Or Nady is completely predictable.

I'm hoping for both.

Psychic powers would be cool.
