Community Projection: Ronny Paulino

by Charlie Wilmoth on Feb 16, 2008 3:03 PM EST in News

UPDATE: The Paulino projections are now closed.

How will Ronny Paulino fare in 2008? Will his job be safe? Will he stay focused on the plate? This projection could be one of the few Bucs Dugout projections in which we're more pessimistic than ZiPS.

Here are Paulino's career numbers.

Xavier Nady is still open. Jason Bay 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
Jason Bay	LF	.278/.368/.491	.265/.361/.478

We're on the same page with ZiPS, which thinks Bay will hit 28 homers but doesn't think he's particularly going to be a star player anymore. Sad.

Ronny Ballgame gets into a drunken brawl at the Bearded Lady Convention the week of March 3 at the Bradenton Convention Center. He never fully recovers from the beating the Ladies give him...

There has to be at least one Pirate with remarkably poor numbers... this year, it's Paulino.

Paulino

.240/.300/.340

This is, in my opinion the biggest joke on the team. It won't be the Ladies that cause Ronny's problems as much as his inability to get out of his own way. God I hope Doumit stays healthy and steps up and TAKES the position away from Paulino. I don't know if I can take watching another season of the catcher that can't catch.

This is one of the only projections so far in which I am not more pessimistic than about 90% of the Pirates fans on the site.

Age 27 season comin' up ... ehhh.

290/340/390

I notice that while his BA and OBP tumbled in 07, his SLUG% stayed pretty much the same. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that while his BA and OBP should bounce back some, 389/394 is his real slugging range.
