Community Projection: Austin Jackson

by John Sickels on Apr 3, 2010 4:00 PM EDT

Austin Jackson is a controversial rookie: some people (including me) really like him, while others (particularly many sabermetric-oriented analysts) really don't. As such he's a great topic for a Community Projection.

Project the following numbers, in order:

Games
At-Bats
Runs
Hits
Doubles
Triples
Homers
Walks
Strikeouts
Steals
Caught Stealing
Batting Average (make sure math is right)

I will calculate OBP and SLG for you.

Makes for a .256/.312/.351 slash line. I think he gets demoted midseason for a couple weeks (hence the low game total). Not a fan, clearly.

Perhaps, I’m too caught up in his spring K/BB improvement, but I think he excels this season.
