Re: My Projections For the 2008
Those are pretty optimistic.  Also, these seem more like fantasy projections than any sort of meaningful projection given the stars you chose.

Re: My Projections For the 2008
"Pretty optimistic"??? I'd say. Those projections make Joe Madden look downright dour, imo.

It'd be nice if everyone has a career year at the same time, but it's not a very realistic expectation.

I'll streak through downtown St. Pete with a Yankees hat on if Dioner hits .270

I'll wear any hat you want me to if Zobrist and Navarro hit over .260.

Wow
Those are definitely some optimistic projections. If those are even in the orbit of reality next year, we've got a nice season coming ahead of us.
