2016 Community Projections Results: Mitch Moreland

Congrats to KevinWC!

Sean Porkorny-USA TODAY Sports

Mitch has been with the Rangers for quite a while now.  Much like David Murphy, he's the underdog that some folks can relate to.  Unfortunately, like David Murphy, he managed to have a pretty bad season in his FA year.  I'm not sure what will happen with Mitch Moreland, but we'll always have that dinger he hit in game 3 of the 2010 World Series and this 472 foot monster shot that from my seats at the game I thought might land on the roof.

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