Stat: 2009 Offensive Projections
Eric Simon at Amazin’ Avenue forwards some projected 2009 offensive stats from The Bill James Handbook.
Among the notable numbers:
David Wright will lead the team in nearly every category including home runs, batting average, OBP, and OPS.
Carlos Delgado will tie David Wright for the team lead in homers with 33.
Nick Evans will have a higher OPS than Jose Reyes but play in a third less games.
…it’s interesting because most of the numbers don’t vary too far from this year…not being very into sabermetrics myself, i’d like to know how they come up with these…
Eric provides post-stat commentary as well including:
“The Mets could do far worse than Fernando Tatis as a righty bat off the bench, Or: Sixteen words I couldn’t have fathomed writing a year ago.”
…the projections have started already…i know some people say these are worthless, but other than the giants, few things keep me going over the winter months so i appreciate them…
They also posted the projections for the Mets pitching staff as well which you can see here.
