Community Projection: Jay Bruce

It's time to start up the Community Projections again. We will concentrate on "not a rookie" type players, young guys with a year or so of major league experience. We will begin with Jay Bruce of Cincinnati.

For Jay Bruce, project the following numbers:

Games
At-bats
Hits
Batting average (make sure the math works)
Runs scored
Doubles
Triples
Homers
RBI
Walks
Strikeouts
Steals
Caught Stealing

Please do it in that order as it makes the spreadsheet data entry a lot easier for me.
One projection per person.

Additional Information
.286/.349/.482 is what his slash line would work out to. I think this is a pretty safe prediction, he could break out and hit much higher or could slump and be a lot worse. I do think his strikezone judgement will improve this year though

you would

homer

"If you hit .440 with 20 bombs, you don't have to do s---. You don't have to bring a glove to practice, just hit and leave whenever you want. You can bring a 40 and smoke a cigarette and call me from the parking lot asking me what time the game is, and I'll tell you. You can even say 'F--- you, Steve!' Actually, don't say that, that wouldn't be very nice." -Steve Friend, Head Coach, Chabot College Gladiators Baseball

My initial inclination seems to be optimistic on his stolen base numbers in comparison with the community, but everything else seems fairly close.

I realize this is bullish, but I’m expecting Bruce to play very well this season, and particularly in the second half once he’s adjusted.

"Daryl (Morey, the Rockets general manager) and I were talking this morning. We both discussed how great Tracy is in the playoffs. There's very few people who have the ability to step up their games in the playoffs and he does. So we're not looking to run away from Tracy." - Houston Rockets Owner, Leslie Alexander
