Community Projection: Jack Wilson

UPDATE: The Wilson projections are now closed.

We pretty much nailed our Wilson projection last year, and I see no reason we couldn't do it again. For all the apologies about Wilson's hitting throughout his career - he was rushed to the big leagues, he had a bad appendectomy in 2005, and so on - he's been a remarkably consistent player since 2002. 2004 was the only real outlier.

Please guess Wilson's 2007 batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage in the comments.

Here are the results of the projections so far, including Adam LaRoche's projection. Freddy Sanchez is still open.

NAME POS. COMMUNITY ZiPS
Ronny Paulino C .271/.334/.414 .272/.327/.378
Adam LaRoche 1B .281/.350/.539 .279/.345/.526

ZiPS and the community are on the same page here. PECOTA is slightly less optimistic than ZiPS is. An irrelevant, but interesting, note about LaRoche: he had 87 strikeouts in 451 at bats in 2005. He had a huge spike in strikeouts in 2006, with 128 in 492 at bats. He also had a huge spike in production.
