2015 Community Projections Results: Prince Fielder

In a shocking turn of events, we will actually have results to the community projections this year!

We begin with Prince Fielder who rebounded from an injury shortened 2014 to have a solid 2015.  LSB projected him fairly well, though the diminished power was a surprise, though not a pleasant one.  However, Prince hit over .300 in almost 700 PA and had an OBP of .378 which is excellent.  The PA amount is really high and it makes me wonder if Prince played too much, especially with his size and Texas weather.

The commenter who came the closest in projection was: rooster!
