Another interesting one. Post your guesses in the comments about Brandon Moss' 2009 performance by predicting his 2009 batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage, in that order. As a bonus, you can guess the number of extra-base hits Moss will have in 2009.
Here are Moss' career numbers. If you've been lurking, the Community Projections are a great way to get involved at Bucs Dugout, so dive in.
Here are the results of the Community Projections so far, including the Andy LaRoche projection, which is now closed:
| NAME | POS. | COMMUNITY | BONUS | ZiPS |
| Ryan Doumit | C | .289/.346/.477 | 115 games played | .287/.343/.463 |
| Adam LaRoche | 1B | .279/.350/.508 | 10th HR on June 11 | .268/.343/.485 |
| Freddy Sanchez | 2B | .300/.332/.419 | 548 PAs | .285/.324/.398 |
| Jack Wilson | SS | .271/.313/.360 | Last 2009 game w/Bucs: August 13 |
.267/.317/.358 |
| Andy LaRoche | 3B | .264/.361/.436 | 124 starts | .232/.325/.363 |
We're believers, it seems--the BD is much more optimistic than ZiPS about LaRoche. ZiPS doesn't "know" about LaRoche's injury troubles last year, though, and the BD community projection is only a hint more optimistic than Baseball Prospectus' projection (for subscribers only, unfortunately). I'll be reasonably happy if LaRoche hits as we think he will while providing solid defense.
