I'd say that Braun is your biggest surprise. Projecting a guy to improve upon a historically good rookie year is a little out there IMO. He's certainly a great young hitter, but I wouldn't cement him in with an 1000+ OPS every year just yet, and I'd put about 7:1 odds that his OPS will be worse than last year.
The Pearce projection doesn't surprise me at all, except for the stealing rating maybe
For me, I think the biggest surprise was that Headley didn't get a rating in LF. Also, Jason Donald surprised me with a very nice projection when I wasn't expecting one at all. On the negative side, I knew Linebrink had slipped, but I didn't expect his projection to be unusable. Greg Reynolds also got a nice little projection (for Coors anyway) and looks likely to be part of the Twins rotation.

Well i wasnt expecting what Braun got, but i was expecting atleast a .900 OPS. I was also surprised that Taylor Teagarden didnt get a projection at all. That McCann got a VG rating at catcher and also that Christopher Pettit not only got a projection, but i can use him as my 4th/5th OF and not have to trade for one now

How about Nick Johnson projected to only 60 ABs. Its 60 nasty ABs but it still sucks. Plus, his D is at 139, what a kick in the dink.

lesser the abs the more volatile the projection....I think. Could be wrong.

Although also volitiale because of innings pitched, I'm shocked to see the projection for Laffey Taffey. Shocked, but exteremly happy he's there to replace Lackey for a while. Then I'll have to figure out between him, Rogers and Blackburn who's going where when Laffey returns.

It might make a little difference, but if you read the notes to the projection disk ( organizer/notes), it's probably a good projection over the long haul, and playing in Yankee stadium, will be even more slugging & HR's for a lefty. Plus it fits what he did prior to getting hurt. One other item: when you send out a revised db, make sure the league settings are set to 2008A and 2008N for leagues ( organizer/leagues/modify era). This db had the leagues set to neutral era, when you sim the schedule there will be a much higher number of errors using the neutral era, among other abnormal stats. |

Oh, one more suprise before I go to bed.
I love Liriano as much as the next guy, but to give the kid a sub-3 era when he hasn't pitched in a year is nuts. Sure, I'm also jealous that Bedard got a worse ERA than him (although a 3.00 is fine), but I think I have a bit of a reason to be.

Needless to say, I was pleased by that, but I think my biggest surprise was the .896 OPS they are giving Cody Ross. And that's in a good number of AB's (330). Someone just made my opening day roster. |
