Major League Baseball : Projections
They’re posted. The link above takes you to the hitters page. I just checked because I was reading through Gene McCaffrey’s latest, Wise Guy Baseball 2004. Gene has been a regular contributor to my magazine the last few years. He knows lots about baseball and music and isn’t afraid to mix the two up.
But when I conjure a picture of him what I recall was a night in Arizona a couple of years ago. There were a bunch of us in a hotel room eating pretzels, drinking beers, talking baseball and punk rock. The only problem was that the beers weren’t twist tops and we had no opener. Some lame attempts were made to pop a top on the edge of the dresser, or to pry it loose with a key, but Gene provided the solution: He used his teeth to rip the caps off a case of beer. At least.
Awesome.
His book is targeted at the Challenge Game player, but he includes roto prices and his comments are most often good smart baseball comments. He likes Adam LaRoche, too. Says he’ll hit .274 with 18 homers. He says you should pay $7 for that. My projection, I see, isn’t nearly as rosy. I thought I was ahead of the curve, but it’s starting to look like I’m playing catchup.
