Projecting: Mitch Moreland

[jta4437]

If you find such exercises pointless, then don't post, this is for those who don't

If you don't post a projection that follows the established format first, then don't comment, simple as that... if your scientific mind doesn't allow you to post such numbers, then don't post... easy peasy Japanesey

1B: Mitch Moreland... I realize he might be in a platoon so let that frame your numbers just a tad, as of now I'm assuming he will get most of the ABs at DH

Batting Average: .265
OBP %: .337
SLG %: .454
HR: 24
R: 65
2B: 29
3B: 1
RBI: 74
SB: 0
WAR: 0.8

WAR reflects defensive contributions as well, so keep that in mind as Mitch will probably spend a lot of his time at DH so his contributions will be nil

My hopeful projection.

Mitch is traded or DFA'd.

Batting Average: .255
OBP %: .300
SLG %: .470
HR: 19
R: 65
2B: 25
3B: 1
RBI: 70
SB: 0
WAR: no idea


My reasoning: Like you said, he will likely platoon so might not get as many chances as last year even with last year being limited with injury. I think his BA will be slightly better this year due to situational plays, OBP will be down due to "trying too hard" and just not getting everyday AB's, SLG will be up for that reason. HR's will be down just a bit because of fewer chances and R's will be down because he will be hitting later in the lineup...don't think he will be much above 7th in the lineup. 2B/3B are about where they were last year, RBI higher because more power ahead of him so more AB's with RISP. I suck at WAR so that would just be a number out of my rear.
