I'll also double check Bonds, as .659 seems extremely high, even for him.<BR/><BR/>As for Kinsler (assuming I didn't make a careless error when inputing my formula), a .300 average seems fairly likely. He had an 83% contact rate, 20% LD rate, nearly a 9% BB rate, 13 True HRs, and 10 IF Hits. Add it up, and I think he'll be able to chip his way to .300.<BR/><BR/>As for rookies, I was planning on writing about my favorites soon, but I haven't done much research into how minor league numbers correlate with major league ones. I do have Minor League batting averages using these factors and you should be seeing those shortly.Derek Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051667211745800764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5799143440468005168.post-50346050923328422232007-04-02T23:50:00.000-05:002007-04-02T23:50:00.000-05:00Very interesting comment.

That might be a pretty good season.<BR/><BR/>Already predicting a .300 average for Kinsler...the guy has skills, but I'm not sure if he's there quite yet.<BR/><BR/>Do you project rookies as well? Is there some kind of reasonable correlation factor between certain minor leagues and the majors?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369708521456303527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5799143440468005168.post-91382924363161656732007-04-02T22:28:00.000-05:002007-04-02T22:28:00.000-05:00You might want to have a quick check in your formu...You might want to have a quick check in your formula. Neifi Perez, considered by some to be the worst hitter in all of baseball (http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/the-real-chase/), projected for .297? Though I do believe in the value of sabermetrics, this is clearly an instance where the numbers don't back up what happens on the field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5799143440468005168.post-76821520735213167042007-04-02T13:05:00.000-05:002007-04-02T13:05:00.000-05:00nice poll,interesting stuff you have got here keep...nice poll,interesting stuff you have got here keep up the good work.will be back soon.<BR/><BR/>regards Biby - <A HREF="http://keralaarticles.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow"><STRONG>Blog</STRONG></A>Bijoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238815260798331123noreply@blogger.com
