UPDATE: The Snell projections are now closed.
Next up in our projections: Ian Snell. Will Snell get his homers allowed in check by showing some brains and not throwing 0-2 fastballs right down the middle? Will he be able to keep up his high strikeout rate?
Let me know in the comments by predicting Snell's 2007 innings pitched, ERA, strikeouts and walks.
The Zach Duke projections are still open. Xavier Nady 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 |
Wow. I think this may be a first - we're more pessimistic than ZiPS. PECOTA is slightly more optimistic even than ZiPS is. Maybe Nady's power-free couple of months in Pittsburgh are coloring our judgement too much?

I'm not sure Snell will significantly reduce the number of gopher balls allowed, but he should show improvement this year.

I have a feeling everyone is going to be fairly close on Snell, except a few people may post high strikeouts.

Pretty much a replication of last year, though I suspect (for no good reason, really) his HR/9 will go down.

His most similar player according to Baseball Reference's stats is... Roy Halladay :O

Ian busts out
High ERA because of a few extra taters.

I expect his HR-happy ways to diminish. Snell will give up between 18-22 HR's in 2007.
