Let's predict the stats of one player a day. 1/23: Miguel Cabrera

[Topnotchsy]

The discussion (in another thread) about when the hobby season begins has me thinking baseball again. I thought it would be fun to take one player a day and try to predict his stats for the season.

I figured the player with 2 consecutive MVP awards was a solid place to start. Looking at his stats from the last couple of years I just noticed that he's now lead the AL in batting average 3 seasons in a row along with everything else he's done.

I'm thinking that at 1st base he could probably 600 at bats and I'm looking at .333/40/125. Not quite where he was the last couple of seasons, but still pretty darn impressive.

Oh, okay...just that player you introduce each day...

.327/37/132

 

[pac_rat_76]

35 more HR's puts him @ the 400 mark.

I am going to guess .325/37/130.

.334/42/131

Can be me or anyone else. Just wanted to get some conversation going but I don't hold a monopoly, and I figured this way we'll get more dialogue as opposed to people just dumping the projected stats of their favorite players into a thread.

And he's just a couple of hits away from 2000. If he can maintain his performance for a few more years his career numbers will be insane.

let's do Avisail Garcia tomorrow? .297/22/105

.038 - another DUI

Nothing. Hurt in spring training by some prospect who couldn't hold on to the bar.

 

[twinsvikings31]

Id think they would put him at cleanup now and V-Mart at 3rd. Maybe more HRs and a bit less AVG?

324/41/140?

 

[Lars]

I predict a 'down' year .317, 29, 116

.387 on-base /.553 slugging

 

[Austin]

I think his stats will be down a little from the last two years, because of soreness from his nagging injuries and surgery, but he'll still be awesome:

.320 avg. 35 homers, 120 rbi

So far Miguel having a cold start as many predicted.
