Projected for 35-40 starts as the primary catcher for Tim Wakefield in Boston and backup to Jason Varitek.
|
4/3/2008 7:01:01 AM |

Projections cut down by 50% since he wasn't picked up by another club after getting released by Boston in March.
|
4/3/2008 6:56:56 AM |
| Matt Kemp (LA) |
10 percent bump in playing time projection. |
3/30/2008 1:45:25 PM |
| Andre Ethier (LA) |
Won the starting left field job over Juan Pierre; the projection already assumed that he'd get good playing time, but we gave him a 5% boost in PT. |
3/30/2008 1:44:11 PM |
| Juan Pierre (LA) |
Lost the starting left field job battle to Andre Ethier. We're docking his projection by 30% as a result, with the assumption of a midseason trade elsewhere. |
3/30/2008 1:42:28 PM |
| Scott Podsednik (COL) |
Adjusted stats after signing with COL. Won the fourth outfielder's job over Cory Sullivan.
|
3/30/2008 12:44:23 PM |
| Alexei Ramirez (CHI-A) |
Named the Opening Day center fielder, with Jerry Owens on the DL; doubled the playing time projection accordingly. Without much in the way of reliable data, this is a best guess projection.
|
3/30/2008 10:33:18 AM |
| Doug Davis (AZ) |
Overall projections reduced by 20% after Davis was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. He's expected to miss at least one month for treatment.
|
3/29/2008 8:45:23 AM |
| Bobby Howry (CHI-N) |
Saves projection dropped from 7 to 3 with news that Kerry Wood is the closer. |

3/28/2008 2:44:57 AM |

3/28/2008 2:44:20 AM |
| Kelvim Escobar (ANA) |
We're going to assume that he's out for the season and zero him out. We'll add a projection back if the news gets any better.
|
3/27/2008 11:57:39 AM |
| Josh Fields (CHI-A) |
Sent down to Triple-A to begin the season. Our projection already had him playing a limited schedule, so just a 10% reduction in his projection. |
3/27/2008 8:40:47 AM |
| Reed Johnson (CHI-N) |
Waived by the Blue Jays in March. Signed by the Cubs. |
3/26/2008 11:57:05 AM |

Ruptured Achilles' tendon, likely out for the season. |
3/25/2008 6:57:40 AM |
| Adam Lind (TOR) |
Sent down to Triple-A Syracuse to start the season, but we don't have a lot of confidence in Shannon Stewart and/or Matt Stairs keeping the job all season long. 20% reduction in playing time. |
3/24/2008 10:18:25 PM |
| Scott Rolen (TOR) |
Broken finger in March will have him start the year on the DL. Rolen's projection already accounted for a certain amount of risk of injury, so only a 5% reduction here. |
3/24/2008 9:08:49 PM |
| Curtis Granderson (DET) |
On the DL with a fractured finger, will miss at least two weeks. |
3/23/2008 10:43:28 PM |
| Chris Capuano (MIL) |
Elbow injury - probably will need Tommy John surgery. For now, his projection is chopped in half until we get confirmation that he'll have the surgery. |
3/23/2008 10:41:18 PM |
| Chris Denorfia (OAK) |
New projection added - he has a reasonable chance of winning at least a part of the A's center field job.
|
3/21/2008 1:34:09 PM |
| John Patterson () |
Released by the Nats in March. We'll leave the projection the same for now, assuming that he'll hook up with another team. |
3/20/2008 6:02:26 PM |
| Eugenio Velez (SF) |
Making a strong push to earn an Opening Day roster spot. Super-cheap stolen base play. |
3/20/2008 5:39:02 PM |

3/20/2008 4:39:07 PM |
| Johnny Estrada (WAS) |
Slashed playing time projection by 25%. |
3/20/2008 4:37:38 PM |
| Chris Snyder (AZ) |
More optimistic projection - improved playing time, BA, and a little more power. |
3/20/2008 4:35:32 PM |
| B.J. Ryan (TOR) |
Some soreness in his forearm and biceps after his second spring training game and will be held out of games. We had some caution in the projection, but we've cut it down by about 10% further. |
3/20/2008 4:07:58 PM |
| Armando Benitez (TOR) |
Signed with Toronto. |
3/17/2008 11:07:18 PM |

Some shoulder issues could put him on the DL to start the season. |
3/13/2008 4:43:24 PM |
| Moises Alou (NY-N) |
Out for the start of the season with a hernia. Only a modest (10%) reduction in projection, because original projection assumed injuries. |
3/13/2008 4:34:15 PM |
| Johnny Cueto (CIN) |
Increasing likelihood that he'll open the year in the starting rotation - bumped up the projection accordingly. |
3/13/2008 4:32:40 PM |
| Andy LaRoche (LA) |
Broken ligament in thumb - out at least 8-to-10 weeks. |
3/13/2008 4:27:18 PM |

Five percent reduction in playing time projection across the board to reflect concerns about his elbow. |

George Sherrill, and not Walker, will get the initial save chances. |
