ARam Vs. Wright

[Dodger Blue]

I know ARam is better but how much better? 10 hr 20 RBI's better? Or will they be pretty close numbers wise.

[quietstorm]

ARam by 5-10 HR, 15 RBI.

Wright by 15-20 SB.

In roto, I'll take Wright.

[jjigglers]

you guys are insane.
15 HR, 35R, 35RBI at least.
and where are you getting 10-20 sb from?

Cause Wright steals bases?

Agree totally with this, but not the SB part. Wright can move, and A-Ram will be lucky to end up with 2 SB.

So you think either Aram hits 40 HR or Wright only hits 20? THe kid hit 14 in 268 at bats last year. I think he will hit at least 25. I agree with the 35 RBi part unless he moves up in the other to atleast 5th but Cameron will bitch too much so that wont happen. 15 SB is where I think he'll end up.

[Iconoclastic]

Aramis: .335 120 45 130 1 (lofty, but having seen his at bats I know he's on Pujols' level: mark my words- after this season Aramis will be a 1st round pick)

Wright: .290 90 25 90 15 (Sophomore slump always possible, but still not a bad player to have)

So that's about 45 points in AVG, 30 runs, 20 HRs, 40 RBIs versus 14 SB

i have ARam with an unprojectable number of SB, most likely zero. But i have Wrights upper ceiling at 15 bags, probably closer to 10.

[Cleveland Steamers]

im a cubs fan and love aramis but Iconoclastic's projections are ridiculous. i hope he is right but come on, there is no way those numbers are put up. projections are supposed to be the most likely numbers put up by a certain player. there should be a 50% chance of decreasing the numbers and a 50% of increasing. The numbers he posted are the very best numbers aramis could possibly post. id say look for about .309, 36HR, 116RBI, 102R, 2SB.

While we're looking at projections... here are PEOCTA's weighted mean projections for the two:

Ramirez_Aramis - .280/.339/.496, 96 R, 31 HR, 104 RBI, 0 SB
Wright_David - .276/.358/.477, 85 R, 23 HR, 89 RBI, 17 SB
