Our last community project result and it's good ol' Captain, Jason Varitek.
A good way to categorize these results are "we didn't think he'd do much and he didn't do too much." Even losing his job halfway through the season, the predictions for Varitek were pretty close.
Results and winner(s) after the jump.

So, yeah, Varitek was bad. Worse than most of us though, too. There's a few correct guesses, with three coming with the slugging percentage. I could be stingy with this victory, but let's share the love and say everyone with a dead-on prediction -- BTLove, badlydrawnjeff, SoxDevil, DANNDANN and DougieWentDeep -- are our champions. I just feel like giving.
Your winnings, gentlemen. I hope it warms your heart (sniffle):
