    Former Cardinals outfielder Fernando Tatís once famously hit 2 Grand Slams in one inning and set a Major Leage record with 8 RBI in one frame but that may not be his biggest feat. Lately it seems that Fernando has been lighting up the world of graphic design and his all original creations are truly a sight to behold and the world needs to stand up and take notice.

    Dan - Since you made the Angels projections prior to the Pujols deal, could you please include his projection here?

    They're near the point at which they have to throw in the towel on Westbrook, past the point at which they have to throw in the towel on Westbrook


    Am I misreading this or was there supposed to be a different name for the first Westbrook?

    Cosigned on the Pujols request. And I'd love to see his projected career numbers.

    Looks like a very good offense even without Pujols(and if any of Freese, Craig, Descalso, or Greene take the leap, this could be a great offense)

    Pitching is a little top heavy though. I think they are in pretty good shape. Lack depth in the rotation for when someone goes down though.

    Also, is that a HoF line I spy from Berkman?

    Since the other three guys on the list were lefty relievers, I'm assuming that this refers to Pedro the Lesser.

    That's some brutal looking defense. Other than Yadier, is there are an above average guy in there?

    Not if history is any guide. Career not long enough, no milestones. Giambi, Walker, Delgado, W Clark, J Clark, Reggie Smith, Brian Giles, Boog Powell, Singleton are all in roughly the same OPS+ and PA range as that projection.

    Given at the moment we have Bagwell, Edgar, Raines on the outside and Walker and McGriff not even close, the standards for corner players are very high right now.
    13. Walt Davis posted on December 17, 2011 at 10:19 AM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    Oopsy, retract that. ZiPS use of AB rather than PA gets me again!!

    That projection puts Berkman near 10000 PA. That's happier company but still a mixed bag. Actually not a lot of corner players in this group. AROD, Chipper, Griffey, Brett, Morgan, Carew, Boggs. The corner guys are Vlad (better chance than Lance I think), Sheffield (roids will keep him out if nothing else), Reggie (500+ HR), McGriff (nope), B Williams (pretty Berkman-like), Palmeiro (again with the roids), Gwynn (3000 hits, high BA) and Winfield (3000 hits). The only one who's made it without a milestone is Williams although Chipper should be the second.

    So my guess is no but he's pretty close.

    Freese is 28 year. Why do people keep thinking he will be any better than he is now?

    If you don't mind, Dan, I'd be interested in a projection for Tommy Pham.

    From Twitter:

    I avoid projecting based on 2 months in middle-A ball unless it's an exception that I *have* to project for coming year...

    For example, Weeks. Wong will certainly projected for 2013.

    He posted a 120 ops+ last season, if that is his actual ability, I don't think anyone thinks he's going to get better, but this projection has him posting a 98 ops+, he's never posted below 109 in the majors(true only 667 pa in his ml career)

    Problem is, Freese's MLB numbers are fueled by a crazy .365 BABIP. He's likely now to have a BABIP significantly better than average, but not .365.

    I feel like Holliday's been a very underrated player. Perhaps because he started out in Coors?

    Dan, if you provide Pujols 2012 projection, could you also share his projected career with us too? Thanks!

    Likely true, but I give the player the benefit of the doubt until he fails. I fully expect Freese to be a 110 ops+ player over the next five seasons. I don't think it's a stretch to say he could be a 120 or better.
    24. Eddie Gaedel posted on December 18, 2011 at 03:05 AM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    Really? Nobody on the team with more than 21 HR? And that looks like a full season of PA for Berkman/Holliday/Cox/Adams, and nobody aside from those guys are projected for more than 11 HR.

    However, I like Craig's 112 OPS+ and I'll take a 100 OPS+ from our starting CF. We really need at least one of our corner IF to hit better than 110 OPS+, though.

    Harveys (#15)... He's 28 this year--prime years, if healthy. I think his health is the big variable; his true talent is likely good D with 110 OPS+ bat... at least for the next 3 years or so.

    Also, assuming that the surgery really did fix Freese's ankles, he should have more power this year.
    26. Harveys Wallbangers  posted on December 18, 2011 at 11:51 AM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    I completely acknowledge that Freese has hit at every level.

    But he's not young. He will be 29 in April.

    He struck out 75 times in in 333 at bats in 2011 and 134 in his 573 major league at bats. I know with guys like Drew Stubbs around that seems like no big deal but if all the appearances had come in a full 2011 season Freese would have been just outside the top ten in the league in strikeouts.

    He made the top ten in grounding into double plays.

    He better start hitting for some more power because that is a fair amount of baggage to be carrying as a player and still be considered a positive.

    I'd also like a Pham projection, if you please.
    28. esseff posted on December 19, 2011 at 06:29 PM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    That'd be interesting. For years, he was all tools, no numbers. And then, suddenly, wham.

    Maybe the "late start", which was basically one year off.

    Just reading the extrapolated careers, I'm pretty sure something was messed up in Yadier Molina's career stolen base totals, I do not see him getting 54 more stolen bases over the rest of his career(he has 25, the projection has him at 79).
