PrintWe're only two players deep into this year's community projections, but it looks like we're already on a pretty good pace. If you haven't been making your predictions, jump on the bandwagon now because it's fun to see what you predict now and what actually happens come October.

This is a tough one.

Dustin has a bit of a junior slump. These numbers are still good, mind you, but he loses a bit of BA and a few HRs off his MVP season. Pedroia has managed to crash through every barrier in front of him, not unlike a certain Marvel supervillain, so it’s possible he’ll keep getting better in spite of everything. My question is, what has he left to prove – that he belongs in the Hall of Fame? Maybe he’s angling for a new award or metric to be named after him?
ex. Pedroia Ratio = Slugging Percentage * 1,000 / height (in inches)
ex. Personal Injury Firm of JG Bentley’s Dustin Pedroia Award for most falls caused by swinging the bat too hard.

If only because it shows a less BA-dependent OBP.
