So who do you guys think will have a crazy projection this year. Kind of like Kouzmanoff a couple of years ago. My vote goes to Evan Longoria. I see a line of .285/.370/.495. Not as crazy as Kouzmanoffs, but think its pretty good. So who are the break out sim stars this year?

If I list them, how am I supposed to trade for them before projections come out...
Out of guys that I currently have, I'm hoping Mulvey or McDonald can produce a Slowey type projection, but I'm not overly optimistic.
Last year was the year of the hitter, so it'll be interesting if this year is the year of the pitcher like it was 2 years ago (ie: King Felix's ridiculous projection)

Here is an optimistic projection for you. Kevin Slowey 12-10 3.98 ERA, 170 IP, 166 hits, 122Ks, 39 walks, .258 BAA and another Steven Pearce .280/.360/.514, 22 HR

I think Jay Bruce will get the Kouzmanoff projection and it will look even more amazing with park effects.

I think DMB personally hates Brandon Phillips for some reason and he'll get a
.272 18 72, 22sb's line, with fr D at 2B
I'm still bitter about last year, I had to open the season with Jamey Carroll and Mike Lamb at 2B.

Did you get phillips from me? I traded him and was sick watching him play last year, but the projection was awful.

I did....the deal also involved Pelfrey, Delwyn Young, Brandon McCarthy, etc....
That Phillips deal almost thew off my whole season. Luckily he was able to kick ass, and I dealt him, Pelfrey & Ethier for Soriano & McCarthy (talk about full circle).

Here are the Yankees that I'm hoping for
Nick Johnson, had two excellent years before missing all of last year Jed Lowrie, hopefully DMB treats him better than ZIPS did Franklin Morales, could make a big difference with a good sim Peter Moylan, had a great year last year and could be an excellent set up simmer

Ryan Ludwick will be this year's one-year sim superstar. Joe Dillon will get an ever better projection in 08 than he did in 07; he'll project as an all-star level third baseman. JR House and Josh Phelps will project as the 5th and 6th best sim catchers (after V. Martinez, G. Soto, Posada, and R. Martin, and just before McCann). Obviously, I think Soto is going to have a nuts projection. Felix Pie will have absolutely sick numbers against RH pitching. Jayson Werth will have cartoon numbers against LH pitching. I don't think Morales will project about a 4.80 era; his peripherals weren't mind-boggling (though I think he could be Liriano 2.0). Justin Duchscherer will probably project as a number 2 or 3 starter -- think of Ryan Madson a couple years ago projected w/ a 3.80 era for his first year as a starter after a strong season as a reliever. Duchscherer will be similar, but he's a better reliever. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a starter rating and a 3.60 era.

Once again, I agree with Tony on most of his points....(you can see why we like the same players)
I think House and Phelps are a little agressive...I agree 100% with Morales.
Here are my predictions for Comeback Projections:
Jason Jennings: 9-13 4.48/1.34 Morgan Ensberg: .240/.370 EX power...VG @ 3B, VG @ 1B Rich Harden: 14-10 3.40/1.25 Mark Prior: 8-6 3.80/1.30 Nick Johnson: .282/.401 VG Power, VG D Franciso Liriano: 13-7 3.10/1.10
Sim Superstars: Justin Ruggiano (this years Spilborghs) Joe Dillon Seth Smith Hank Conger (this years Ianetta) Ryan Raburn (this years Joe Dillon)

Hank Conger (this years Ianetta) I like Towles with an Ianetta-like projection over Conger.

Kosuke Fukudome is going to get a sick projection. No draft pick should get a better projection. I'm really hoping for a solid over all player.

Forgot about Ludwick. Glad to hear everyone talking about Yankees. It doesn't look like I have the understanding of the projection system that Tony and John do but I've been pretty good at picking out the sim-stars the last couple years. A Ludwick/Ruggiano/Spilsborgh 3 headed monster in left could be a big boost to the Yankees team in 08. Hopefully one of them can hit RHP though.

I like Spilboghs a lot, but he's doomed to a run of the mill projection.....280/335 15hr
Which is still pretty good...I could be wrong.
