Our community projection is a touch more optimistic than what other systems are showing, but all of these numbers are certainly within the realm of possibility, all being possible outcomes of the Strat-O-Matic card for Nick Swisher that was programmed by God.

I have normalized the strikeout totals projected by other systems for 500 at-bats to make direct comparisons possible.

My own Experimental Projection actually came out more optimistic than I expected. However, those numbers were one of the first projections I did back in December, and the assumptions used in the process were a little different then. Still, I will go ahead and stick with those numbers since that is what I put in the 2005 Baseball Prospect Book and it isn't really fair to change now that I've seen the output of other systems.
