Community Projection: Travis Snider

I thought there would be a lot of interest in this one, but we ended up with just 11 entries. Apparently the Community Projection project isn't as interesting to folks as it used to be....maybe I just haven't picked interesting enough players this year?

Anyway, the results come out to 136 games, 491 at-bats, 132 hits, .268/.337/.446 (OBP based on walks only), 65 runs, 29 doubles, 1 triple, 19 homers, 74 RBI, 51 walks, 128 strikeouts, 2/2 SB/CS, no on Rookie of the Year.

Other projections:

Shandler  .258/.329/.407, 11 homers in 380 at-bats
James     .270/.342/.462, 19 homers in 448 at-bats
PECOTA:   .251/.325/.443, 22 homers in 631 PA
ZIPS:       .251/.304/.411, 19 homers in 506 at-bats
CHONE:   .229/.297/,373, 13 homers in 458 at-bats

As you can see, the Community Projection is the most optimistic other than James. Frankly I can see all of these outcomes as completely possible. . .it all depends on how his plate discipline holds up.

For what it is worth, Snider is currently hitting .361/.378/.694 in spring training.

Too much to project. These should be fun and quick little exercises, which means nobody wants to make sure the math works ;-)

I’d prefer if it was something as simple as batting average, HR, SB, RBI, R, BB, K and Slugging %. Then I would have given my prediction, I just didn’t have time to do all the math…

Math?

It really isnt that hard, all you gotta do is devide the total hits by total AB’s and walla you have your Batting Average.
