Community Projections: Not Too Shabby on Jason Bay

by Randy Booth on Dec 22, 2009 1:07 PM EST in Community Projections

I hit a little hiatus bringing you the results of 2009's community projections, but I'm back with it today with everyone's expectations of Jason Bay.

In general, people were quite accurate with his power numbers, but no one was really close at all with his batting average. Oh, well. It was a good year and half for Mr. Bay.

Full results after the jump.

The categories for Bay were: at-bats, home runs, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and stolen bases. His full stats:

	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	BB	K	SB	CS	AVG	OBP	SLG
2009 - Jason Bay	151	531	103	142	29	3	36	119	94	162	13	3	.267	.384	.537

Here's how the predictions broke down:

NAME	AB	HR	BA	OBP	SLG	SB
drabidea	560	26	.280	.360	.525	10
RSNexile	580	30	.280	.375	.500	10

bs.uf15bosox9bears23	529	40	.295	.378	.560	5

BTLove	550	34	.282	.381	.521	--
Schulz	570	30	.285	.375	.520	11
DANNDANN	535	35	.293	.368	.540	18
BoSox415	570	32	.298	.390	.530	20

KEY: Everything bolded and italicized represents a guess that was within 5 units of the actual answer. Anything with a background that is RED is a dead-on prediction.

The winner is DANNDANN, who was within five units of four of the six categories. Our own editor E-Coli could have competed if he had guessed stolen bases, but since he didn't, he takes a second place with That5foot9inchMVP, both being close on three categories.

DANNDANN, your winnings (not exactly SFW):

What? I demand a recount!

There was an error on my voting machine, as I clearly guessed… [scrolls up, checks Bay’s final stat line] 13 stolen bases. I wanted to get the Susan Sontag speech*…

*Actually the “I Believe” speech.
