2010 BCB Community Projections: Jeff Baker

by Al Yellon on Feb 11, 2010 8:00 AM CST in Community Projections

I've put Jeff Baker as the next selection because I think he's going to be the starting 2B, and get most of the playing time there.

If you disagree, make it part of your projection -- project him to play less.

The form to input your projection is after the jump.

After making our educated or wild assed guesses, as the case may be

Is it possible to see the spread sheet anywhere?

My predictions are based on a scientific mixture of ignorance, Kool Aid and reality depravation… ;-)

Not unless SWL sends me the info.

He’s the one compiling all of this.

I'll give Al a compiled spreadsheet and maybe a couple graphs for each player...

after their data input forms have been up for about a week.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Here's a Crazy Idea...

How about moving Castro to 2B?

Nope.

Not taking the bait today.

i thought we were trading

Castro for Kim Yong Il so we could lock up the Asian market for the next quarter century

Not sure that would help.

I think most Korean ballplayers are from South Korea, not North Korea. Interesting idea, though.

Where's Soriano going to play then?

by madcow256 on Feb 11, 2010 10:32 AM CST up reply actions

First base, of course.

Does that mean we're finally going to move Hoff to third?

You can’t leave a bat like his out of the lineup.

by madcow256 on Feb 11, 2010 11:21 AM CST up reply actions

Of course not, what are you thinking?????

we reacquire Fox and play him at 3B

I thought Fox was going to play right field.

You guys are being silly.

Jake Fox is a catcher.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

by santoswoodenlegs on Feb 11, 2010 12:50 PM CST up reply actions

Maybe we could convert him to pitcher then

I think we have our new closer, guys.

by madcow256 on Feb 11, 2010 1:06 PM CST up reply actions

And play Carlos Marmol at 2B!

Problems solved!

Maybe we could bring back Ronnie at third... ::ducks::

Marmol came up as a catcher, let’s put him there. Why risk ruining him by playing him at second? BTW, since this thread was supposed to be about Jeff Baker, I’m predicting a season in which he platoons reasonably well with Mike Fontenot, and does exactly what he is supposed to do—play steady defense, and give the Cubs a decent bat at the bottom of the order. If he just plays his role, I’m fine with that.

marmol would be better suited as the derosa esque super sub imo

by jesus christos on Feb 11, 2010 5:31 PM CST up reply actions

almost as silly as those here who suggested Fox play 2B

and unlike you, Al, they were being serious
