Community Projection: Tom Gorzelanny

by Charlie Wilmoth on Feb 22, 2008 5:02 PM EST in News

UPDATE: The Gorzelanny projections are now closed.

How will Tom Gorzelanny fare in 2008? Will the abuse he took last year while helping Jim Tracy try to save his job catch up with him? Or will he build on last year's strong performance? Let me know in the comments by guessing Gorzelanny's 2008 innings pitched, strikeouts, walks and ERA.

Ian Snell is still open. Ronny Paulino 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

ZiPS actually likes Paulino less than we do, and I even threw out Sludgeworm's humorous projection. That .363 slugging wouldn't make Paulino the NL's worst catcher - we've got Jason Kendall to kick around - but it would certainly try our patience. Dear Ryan Doumit, please stay healthy.

Dick Tracy's Management = Step Backwards for talented young pitcher.

Tommy John before the end of March. One difference from previous FO is that they'll cut right to it, pun intended, and schedule the surgery right away. Littlefield and Co. would have denied anything was wrong, started him on the DL, moved him to the 60-day DL, denied anything was wrong, tried to rehab him, and wouldn't have given up until sometime in July. At least this way he should be ready for ST 2009.
