Community Projection: Matt Capps

by Charlie Wilmoth on Mar 3, 2008 2:05 PM EST in News

How will Matt Capps fare in 2008? Let me know in the comments by predicting his 2008 innings pitched, strikeouts, walks, and ERA, preferably in that order.

Here are Capps' career numbers.

Matt Morris is still open. Paul Maholm is closed. Here are the results.

NAME	POS.	COMMUNITY	ZiPS
Ronny Paulino	C	.260/.319/.395	.263/.321/.366
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
Xavier Nady	RF	.272/.331/.454	.259/.319/.449

NAME	COMMUNITY	ZiPS
Ian Snell	200 IP, 173 K, 67 BB, 3.84 ERA	191 IP, 157 K, 62 BB, 4.48 ERA
Tom Gorzelanny	141 IP, 103 K, 49 BB, 4.15 ERA	184 IP, 128 K, 61 BB, 4.16 ERA
Paul Maholm	186 IP, 117 K, 51 BB, 4.42 ERA	175 IP, 108 K, 62 BB, 4.89 ERA

ZiPS doesn't know about the way Maholm was used at the end of last year, when he stunk up the joint while trying to pitch through back problems. Maybe it's the homer in me, but I like his chances of hitting our projection.

He's soon be to our best "Sell High" candidate. Another half season at closer and he'll earn the sexy title of "Proven Closer" which will jack up his value. I'd be happy if we traded him for a quality regular like LaRoche was supposed to be and still could be.
