re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball Bold Prediction Thread

quote:

---

C:
-Ryan Hanigan gets more ABs than Devin Mesoraco this season
-Jonathan Lucroy will have a better fantasy season than Jesus Montero

---

Hanigan is currently ahead in ABs 249-162.
Lucroy is having a better season than Montero, but he got hurt.

quote:

---

1B:
-Gaby Sanchez leads the Marlins in RBI by a wide margin.
-Brandon Belt won't get more than 300 ABs for the Giants.

---

Not even close with Sanchez.
Belt has 299 ABs, so I missed there.

quote:

---

2B:
-Howard Kendrick will hit 25 homers.
-Dustin Pedroia's batting average finishes below .280

---

Kendrick is on pace for only 9 HR.
Pedroia is currently hitting .276

quote:

---

3B:
-Ryan Zimmerman hits 40 homers.
-Adrian Beltre hits less than 20 homers.

---

Zimmerman is on pace for 21 HR.
Beltre is on pace for 29 HR, and is already over 20.

quote:

---

SS:
-Alexei Ramirez hits 25 homers.
-Starlin Castro regresses this season.

---

Alexei is on pace for 9 HR.
Castro's stats this year are on pace to be better than last year in HR, RBI, and SB, but worse in R and AVG. He certainly hasn't regressed.

quote:

---

OF:
-Shin Soo Choo becomes a top 5 fantasy OF.
-Ben Zobrist loses playing time as the year goes on, and is no longer considered a must-start.

---

Choo's power numbers aren't good enough still.
Zobrist's numbers aren't as good as last year, but he's not losing playing time.

quote:

---

SP:
-Gio Gonzalez wins the NL Cy Young.
-CC Sabathia finishes with an ERA over 4.00 and a WHIP over 1.30.

---

Gio having a great season, and still has a chance to win Cy Young.
Sabathia has an ERA of 3.56 and a whip of 1.21.

quote:

---

RP:
-Mark Melancon leads the Red Sox in saves this season.
-Craig Kimbrel has control issues and blows 5 saves in the first month of the season.

Massive fricking fail.
