How bout that Petey!

[shellback]

look forward to the guy getting a reasonable, full time shot at center. .270 70 15sb

[Glen]

For Pete's sake (see what I did there) I hope he gets off to a fast start during the regular season.  

 

But yeah, he's looked good in spring.  Let's hope that carries over.

[Angelsjunky]

".270 70 15 sb"?

 

70 what?

[shellback]

rbi sir.

[LetsGoHalos]

PBo isn't getting 70 RBI. 70 runs yes but not RBI.

[shellback]

im wrong again!

[Second Base]

.280 15 HR 30 SB and a gold glove in CF.  

[LetsGoHalos]

.268 12 HR 27 SB and 2nd place for the GG.

 

If Trout can't beat Adam Jones for the GG, I don't think Pbo wins.

[jsnpritchett]

.230 and a benching in mid-May...

 

If I'm being optimistic, though, I'll say .270 is pretty doable.  Not sure how he'll get 70 RBI. 

[nate]

.230/.290/.350/.640

[gotbeer]

In before someone suggests we trade him while his value is high.  Incoming in 3....2.....

[Wallerrrr]

they should just trade him while his value is high...

[Jim]

.280 15 HR 30 SB and a gold glove in CF.  

Gotta bump you a bit and go with .293 18 HR 37 SB

 

The gold glove is a foregone conclusion; they may as well send it to him now.

[Brent Maguire]

I'm optimistic about Petey this year. I'll say .265/.325/.400 with 24 SB

[Lou]

Wells is having a better spring.

.389/.455/.889/1.343

[shellback]

disgusted with the gold glove. its as bad as the hall of lame i mean fame

[stormngt]

I am excited about PB performance this year, but I am being cautiious.  After all its only spring break.  I do believe if given the opportunity to play through slumps like all regulars go through 260+ BA will be a definite mark.  Add his defense to that numbers and he is a valuable player.

I heard this year they're adding some statistical components to the gold glove now -- most will still be votes from the managers but the rest will be a composite of OPS+ and wOBA, and other offensive counting stats.

[Hubs]

PB is hitting .333 with a .394 OBP and a .633 slugging in 33 Plate appearances in Spring Training. He's stolen 1 base and hit three triples.

 

Obviously those numbers are Mike Trout-eqsue, and are highly unlikely to translate to regular season numbers (he'd hit 59 triples in 650 PA if that was the case) but still, I expect big things offensively from PB in his return to regular duty. 

 

30 2B, 15 3B, 15 HR, with a .280-.290 average and a .335-.350 OBP. 30 SB are my high end predictions.

 

25 2B, 10 3B, 10 HR with a .270-.280 average and a .320-.335 OBP with 20 SB are my low end predictions.

[Troll Daddy]

You guys are so cute with your Petey predictions. I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

Still onboard the Vernon Wells Train?

[ELEVEN]

Producing like this is just gonna get him benched...

[YouthofToday]

Did somebody really cite ST stats?

[Glen]

Did somebody really cite ST stats?

 

 

ST stats are a double-edged sword.  For an established player you try not to put too much weight on bad performance in spring but you'll always wish for better.  You also don't get too excited when they perform well because it's expected.

 

But yeah, it's good that Bourjos is doing well so far.  Be honest, if he was stinking up the joint you wouldn't be saying "ah, it's just spring training."  A good performance is certainly reason for at least a bit of cautious optimism.

I like Peter.
