Fantasy Baseball: Bill James Hitter Projections-NL Edition

After going through the Bill James 2009 hitter projections from his annual handbook, there are a few that stood out-here they are for NL hitters:

  • Garrett Atkins-22 HR, 102 RBI-where did the power go?
  • Emilio Bonafacio-27 SBs-could be a cheap/late round source or steals.
  • Jay Bruce-35 HR, 90 RBI, 12 SBs, .891 OPS
  • Emmanuel Burriss-29 SBs-another cheap steals guy
  • Stephen Drew-19 HR, 66 RBI-seems a little low to me
  • Alcides Escobar-6 HR, 62 RBI, 33 SBs
  • Jesus Flores- 12 HR, 80 RBI-in Washington??
  • Rafael Furcal- 9 HR, 44 RBI, 23 SBs-that's it??
  • Andruw Jones-16 HR, 50 RBI-really???
  • Matt Kemp-19 HR, 80 RBI, 32 SBs-no increase in power?
  • Kevin Kouzmanoff-25 HR, 94 RBI-nice!
  • Andy Laroche-18 HR, 71 RBI, .401 SLG.-where's the power? 
  • Cameron Maybin-16 HR, 58 RBI, 32 SBs-rookie of the year?
  • Andrew McCutchen-10 HR, 53 RBI, 35 SBs
  • Daniel Murphy-14 HR, 74 RBI, 14 SBs, .849 OPS-where did he come from?
  • Colby Rasmus-18 HR, 54 RBI, 22 SBs
  • Pablo Sandoval-17 HR, 103 RBI, .320 Avg.-WOW-big time RBI numbers-catcher eligible?
  • Justin Upton-22 HR, 68 RBI, 6 SBs-who's the better Upton?
  • Joey Votto-30 HR, 102 RBI, 13 SBs-better than Bruce?
  • Jayson Werth-25 HR, 89 RBI, 21 SBs-All-Star??

I will follow up with an AL edition over the next few days. Which of these projections is most attainable?

Jones

16 HRs isn’t that tough if he bounces back a little. Getting to 100 RBIs for Pablo will be tough

Burriss and his 29 steals

If he beats out Velez and Frandsen (and he should) and gets 450+ at bats, 29 steals will be a cinch. With the current lineup, the Giants will have to run to manufacture runs and Burriss can fly.
