Bill James Predictions for 2008 Season

Sorry I put this up so late. And that it's not even half-finished. I underestimated the power and inconvenience of English essays yet again. I guess half-baked is better than stone cold. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.

Here's the not finished post:

Fangraphs.com has his predictions for each player individually, so no need to buy the $21 book.

Persons of interest:

Kevin Frandsen: 408 AB - .282/.330/.407, 115 H, 7 HR, 25:37 BB:SO
Ray Durham: 446 AB - .258/.337/.410, 115 H, 13 HR, 49:70 BB:SO

I’m not sure how Durham bounces back while Frandsen has a solid year at the same time, unless Frandsen plays third base or Durham bounces back with another team. Either way, it’s good seeing Kevin get consistent playing time since he’s more effective with regular AB.

Nate Schierholtz: 344 AB - .299/.331/.480, 103 H, 10 HR, 15:50 BB:SO

Excellent numbers for a rookie if James’ predictions come true. The Giants are in a sorry state if Nate is one of the better hitters in the 2008 lineup.

I'll get some more done tomorrow.
