Over easy

the injuries have the projections underrating his potential, and he’ll be somewhat protected with platooning around Young and Naps.

Under.

Given that he's going to platoon

And that I refuse to believe the latter half ‘10 and the first 6 weeks of ’11 were an illusion, I’ll say over. Comfortably over.

That's what I was going to say, minus the platoon

It is hard to imagine 2010 and that year’s playoffs, and the first two months of 2011 were not indicative of what he is capable of achieving, really what he should achieve. I’ll go with .782

I'm going over

I think he’s going to be at least an .800 OPS guy.

The projection is .753

Why do you think he’ll be under that?

I was making a joke. I think ZIPs projections are very accurate for Mitch,

How many players come right back from wrist surgery and don't lose any power?

Still can’t hit lefties.

Under. Comfortably under.
