PrintRickie Weeks enters his 5th season in the major leagues at just 25 years old. He falls short of acquiring the necessary service time to qualify as a super two and,like Prince Fielder, will play one more season of minimum wage baseball. A popular breakout candidate every year 2008 is no exception for many baseball speculators. Currently, weeks is being plunked in over 3% of his plate appearances, a full percentage point over Craig Biggio's career rate. Last year Weeks got off to a slow start, and was sent to the minor leagues to work some stuff out. In 43 games to finish the season Weeks hit .273/.442/.553 to bolster his season line to .235/.374/.433.
Community Projection
We'll go through the 8 position players in order around the diamond, perhaps a couple of bench players and then starting rotation. I'll tally up the results in a spreadsheet for everyone to see. Use any methods you want to make projections, but please submit them in the comments to the appropriate projection thread as a single line of comma separated values. For the hitters we'd like to project pa,ab,h,1b,2b,3b,hr,bb,avg,obp,slg,ops.
For Example:
player,pa,ab,h,1b,2b,3b,hr,bb,avg,obp,slg,ops
NLAverageHitter,650,585,153,102,31,3,17,65,.262,.335,.412,.747
You are, of course, free and welcome to submit any projections you want in any format and I'll try to accomodate them.
I've created a player projection tool to help you create a projection. Simply fill out the values for Plate Appearances (pa), Singles (1b), Doubles (2b), Triples (3b), Homeruns (hr), and Walks (bb) and the rest will be calculated for you and outputted below in a comma separated string perfectly formatted for submission. Simply copy and paste that line to a comment.
Voting is still open for Jason Kendall and Prince Fielder

Weeks
Here's to hoping one of those plunkings doesn't hit him in the wrist or any other injury-prone spot.
Weeks, my take
I think he'll see an uptick in power but suffer at least one major injury which will cut into his plate appearances.
Still, this is one heck of a season line that I thin k the Brewers would be thrilled to get.

Weeks
He hit 16 homers last year. It'd be surprising if he didn't top that.
If he's totally healthy, it's gonna be fun to watch.
an improvement

Weeks
He'll play 158 games, and lead-off all of them, big boost in HRs and a great season for triples...
