Use this thread to predict the outcome of the 2011 season for Neil Walker. Guess his 2011 average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, and I'll compile the first 20 into a community projection.

Here are the results of the projections so far. The Lyle Overbay projection is now complete.

Again, we're very close to ZiPS, although again, the community thinks Overbay is going to have a higher average. (The ZiPS projection assumes he's playing in Toronto.) All in all, there isn't much to quibble about. I wondered about how to balance Overbay's league switch (which presumably helps him a bit) with the fact that he posted a .478 slugging percentage at home last year and a .392 slugging on the road in a year when balls were flew out of the Rogers Centre. A lot of that was righties Jose Bautista and Vernon Wells going nuts, but lefties like Overbay and Adam Lind got boosts too. Overall, it's probably a wash, especially since PNC Park doesn't play badly for lefties. So it seems reasonable to predict that Overbay will post a line similar to the one he posted last year, which was .243/.329/.433, possibly with a couple extra points of batting average in there since he's a .274 career hitter, and also with a bit less power. In other words, I like the community's projection, but I think I like ZiPS' a bit better.
