2013 Projections!

[GoBraves]

I think that's a little hopeful for Minor. His second half from last year was pretty lucky.

Yes, might be little hopeful on Minor. I'm buying into Minor big time! He turned himself into a power lefty. No, he wont pitch like he did the 2nd half, but he will be some where in between, I think.

[Ja.werd#1]

I'm just ready to see Medlen pitch again, The way he was pitching last year he might have a shot at the CY Young award..

I almost think its impossible to predict the Upton brothers production this year. Not to mention the effect this could have on Heyward. Also, i believe Medlen could have an even better year, although his ERA could go up, but his wins will def increase. I believe Minor will be more consistent this year as well.
Count on Uggla to continue his decline. I'm most scared of Simmonds completely falling off from the small sample size we got last year.

I'm i the only one here who thinks FF will have a better batting average than Heyward this year?

I can see FF having a better average this year....all depends on who bats behind him and what kind of pitches he gets.

I also have a hard time predicting Simmons. Yes, he showed last year that he can hit the ball and looked positive....but it was a pretty small sample size. Not to mention last year at this time people were only looking at him for his glove without much of a bat. I hope he produces like last or improves from the little bit we saw from last year!

[SB75]

If the line up stays as most have projected..... I'm going to say...

Simmons..... .280 avg .350 Obp. 10 hr's and 30 SB's
Heyward...... .300 avg .400 Obp. 30 hr's and 30 SB's
J. Upton....... .300 avg .380 Obp. 35 hr's and 25 SB's
Freeman....... .310 avg .350 Obp. 25 hr's and 10SB's...... Yes it's high,but most if not all will come on the back end of double steals.
BJ Upton........ .275 avg .340 OBP. 28 hr's and 35 Sb's
McCann.......... .280 avg .370 Obp. 23 hr's and 5 Sb's.... Bounce back year for Mac!
Uggla.............. .250 avg. 350 OBP. 25 hr's and 10 SB's

Every single player has a chance to exceed the numbers posted. Will they? That is the question?
BJ has the talent to be a right handed Barry Bonds ( pre steroids), he has never lived up to that though. The talent to hit 30hr's and steal 40 bases, Hopefully he can do thet in a Braves uni.

I'm hoping, no expecting Justin to put up Manny Rameirez type numbers with more steals and better defense. The kid has that type of talent.

Jason has the talent to be the next Ken Griffey Jr. Will he be? Yet tbd.

If just one of these guys lives up to their talent, we could be in for a real treat the next 3 years. If two of them do it the NL should be very afraid, if all 3 do so, we will become Americas Team again.

That's probably a safe bet. If either is going to get close to .300, they have to make significant improvements vs LHP.

This. Hard not to expect major offense top to bottom.

Does anyone know what Bill James is predicting? With the exception of the injury James was spot on with Brandon Beachy.
