Community Projection Project

PrintWe've done Community Projections every year, but I've never been especially diligent about keeping track of how things went. That will change this year; it will be a more organized endeavour.
We are going to do projections for 14 players, seven pitchers and seven hitters, and keep much closer track this year, then compare the final results at the end of the season with reality and other projection systems. So far we've done Alcides Escobar, Clayton Kershaw, and Derek Holland (results for Holland will be collated Monday). The ideal projection candidate is someone who is either a rookie with a guaranteed job like Escobar, or someone who is young, not a rookie, but not fully established yet (like Kershaw and Holland).
Use this thread to make suggestions on what other players to include in the Project. Please don't suggest Heyward or Strasburg at this point given that we don't know how much they are going to play.

Not mentioned so far
Cameron Maybin
Brett Gardner
Ian Desmond (if it’s determined that he’s a starter by the time you can get around to him)
Scott Sizemore
Howie Kendrick
he may be a touch older than you were looking for, but he should move up in the order and if he is ever going to shine it stands to reason this would be the time to start.
Russell Martin
Is he the 09 version or the 07 one, or in between?

What about . . .
Bud Norris
Max Scherzer
and/or
Jason Hammel?
These are candidates that not everyone will agree on and the composite approach may work best on. Also they are to play big roles if they are lights out or truly terrible.
Scherzer would be interesting
He is moving leagues and had questions in AZ. Personally, I hated to face him(as a Dodger fan) as his stiff always seemed to be strong. I felt he was AZ’s Billingsley.
John, Id like to see what some of your predictions for these guys also. Fans will always have different views and it is interesting to hear what someone who has followed these guys since they were drafted to see what you expect from them

Shawn Spencer: "I’m receiving a transmission from your husband. Really more of a voicemail, if I'm being honest. A status update. Perhaps a twitter."
Burton Guster: "I believe it’s called a tweet."
Shawn Spencer: "There’s no way I’m saying that."
Casey McGehee
would be an interesting challenge as he was never a top prospect, had good but not great numbers in the minors and performed quite well last year. He’s penciled in for 3rd (I believe).
Many think his performance was lucky at his age with his track record.
