Renteria in ATL projections

[quietstorm]

Again: He'll be good. I just don't think he'll be as good as everybody expects. We've already seen the best third-baseman in the world in David Wright.

Can't we start a seperate thread for Marte predictions?

This one is supposed to be about Renteria......

280/350/400 with 35 doubles and 25 steals. I think he'll bat second behind Marcus, so I'm looking at 80 rbi's if both can stay healthy.

rotterdam, Renteria has never had an isoOBP that high, especially not lately.


And, I think Marte is going to become exactly like Scott Rolen. Rolen's career line of .284/.375/.515/.890 looks exactly like what I think Marte will become, with Marte probably an extra few points in SLG, and a few points less in batting average.

1 Edgar will have less pressure in Atl and is due, hopefully, for a better year than 2005.

2. Atl. park factor V Bos. park factor not in his favor.

If he leads off I think for the most part he will have more value in 2006. The above line seems like a reasonable prediction

I'm thinking the Braves will likely use Renteria as their lead off hitter and leave Giles at 2 where he's better suited.

If that is the case then I see Renteria (who will be far better suited back in the NL) going close to these numbers.

100 runs 12 HR's 60 RBI's 20 SB and a .290 avg with an OBP of close to .350.

Well concidering his career obp is .345, I don't think it's much of a reach.
