Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Community Projection: Tony Armas, Jr.

EDIT: The Armas projections are now closed.

How will Tony Armas, Jr. fare this year. Will the move away from Washington's pitcher-friendly environs hasten his descent into irrelevance? Or will he reclaim some portion of his former potential? Will he stick in the rotation the entire year?

Let me know in the comments by predicting his 2007 innings pitched, ERA, strikeouts and walks.

The Tom Gorzelanny projections are still open. Paul Maholm is closed. Here are the results:

NAME POS. COMMUNITY ZiPS
Ronny Paulino C .271/.334/.414 .272/.327/.378
Adam LaRoche 1B .281/.350/.539 .279/.345/.526
Freddy Sanchez 2B .314/.360/.436 .306/.348/.432
Jack Wilson SS .273/.314/.373 .270/.312/.377
Jose Bautista 3B/OF .255/.343/.436 .255/.338/.431
Jose Castillo 2B/3B .259/.307/.404 .256/.304/.388
Jason Bay LF .294/.398/.564 .278/.378/.521
Chris Duffy CF .285/.340/.387 .274/.326/.389
Xavier Nady RF .281/.338/.452 .280/.340/.467
PITCHER COMMUNITY ZiPS
Zach Duke 3.99 ERA, 209 IP, 126 K, 56 BB 3.92 ERA, 216 IP, 127 K, 59 BB
Ian Snell 4.28 ERA, 193 IP, 172 K, 71 BB 4.53 ERA, 169 IP, 140 K, 62 BB
Paul Maholm 4.48 ERA, 177 IP, 114 K, 72 BB 4.63 ERA, 177 IP, 115 K, 75 BB

Wow, the community and ZiPS agree very closely on that one. As with many of our other players, we're a little more optimistic than ZiPS, but not by much, and the innings, strikeouts and walks are either identical or virtually identical.

Armas
I think he'll be a below-average starter but I'm going to assume he stays heathy and starts almost every fifth day.

135/5.15/75/57

5.05/125/110/50
Below average, but useful nonetheless. Unfortunately I expect an injury.

Oh, whoops
Totally mistyped the strikeouts

5.05/125/80/50

Armas
Has his best year to date since injury.  In fact he will numbers similar to Maholm

4.70/165/105/60

Will Armas last the season?
5.00/130/80/60, with 6 wins (up to 9 if he lasts the whole year without being injured/released/demoted)

almost forgot - an odd fact about Armas:
he has 1 career start at PNC Park, giving up 5 runs in 7 IP, but winning the game.
