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:Here's how the predictions broke down:

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):
