Pujols: .305/.394/.564

Hambone: .289/.356/.540

T-money: .266/.315/.495

 

Pete: .262/.316/.411

 

Very optimistic.

[Punk]

I like.

[Wallerrrr]

damn, i'd take those nuumbers from PB. that offense combined with his defense would be awesome. I agree though, very optimistic

[HeavenlyHalos]

Pretty unlikely, but damn that would be great!

[angelduck]

James' offensive stats are seemingly always optimistic. I don't see Trout improving on last season. Think he'll take a small step back. He'll still be one of the best players in baseball

[Jammer36]

Ill take it!

[Angelfan79]

Sounds Great!

[Wallerrrr]

bill james works for the red sox front office...i feel as though he's just being a pr*ck and trying to set us up for disappointment by projecting high lol

[Richard]

Those numbers would be sick. Pujols will rake this year.

[Wallerrrr]

PECOTA thinks so too...

[Punk]

This year should be fun.

What are Wells' projections? 

[stevestevens]

It would not surprise me if James has Wells projected to be our sixth .800+ ops guy, with CallasMVPo of course being the fifth. 

[Chimi]

If Trout puts up that type of year, I hope the Angels are thinking extension sooner rather than later.

[Agalloch]

Loving these numbers!

[The Dude]

Trout: .325/.402/.564

Pujols: .305/.394/.564

Hambone: .289/.356/.540

 

That would be amazing.

 

Not bad for a 36 year old.

[NrM]

Trout: .325/.402/.564

Pujols: .305/.394/.564

Hambone: .289/.356/.540

 

That would be amazing.

If Trout goes on to post those numbers in a full season injury free. He'll score 140+ runs and steal almost 60 bases.

 

Really high expectations for trout.

[Biergott]

That would be SICK!

[Turd Ferguson]

I would love those projections.  Also wouldn't be surprised if all 5 guys wind up below those.

[Hubs]

I wrote a much longer post that didn't post when I walked away for a minute and my browser refreshed...

 

But i'll quickly re-write that these projections would end up with Trout having around 365 total bases, Pujols around 350, and Hamilton around 315 based on the playing time I estimate for each to get. 

 

That translates (assuming these averages) into 50 2B for Trout 10 triples for Trout and 30 HR. Considering Trout had 27,8, & 30 last year in less games, that's pretty impressive. If his ratio of doubles/triples/homeruns stayed closer to his 2012 (.383 slugging) numbers, but he played more games, he'd actually be closer to 31 2B,  10 triples, and 35 HR. I think we'll see a dramatic increase in doubles and triples in his second year and his HR may actually fall off a bit.

 

Pujols looks like he'll hit 52 doubles and 34 HR based on the playing time I estimated.

 

Hamilton looks like he too will go 35 doubles and 35 HR. Or 45 /30.

 

Trumbo's numbers and Bourjos numbers look a little light to me. The other three just look a little low on average….
