i know its been done to death but,, M. CABRERA's projections

[tiger spit]

im wondering what we at the cafe think his #s will be this year.....
i know its been done, but im thinking we are a month in and he lived up to all the hype surrounding him after world series..


i have him in a h2h keeper and i swear i get like 3 offers a week for him. but i just cant pull trigger. i actually just recieved the most tempting offer yet....just trying to figure out his worth and if im a complete idiot for even thinking of dealing him in a keeper.

thanks in advance

to help me out here would be great...

i'll start it off
i think
he'll go
280- 39 - 115

39 Hrs??? Is that a joke? I say 25 MAX.

[bibsybob]

HE IS WAY OVERHYPED.

He has potential, but he has to show it thru an entire major league season

Keeper League? Not a complete idiot ....

But you're gettin into a grey area .

DON'T DEAL HIM

[Pedro]

Err yeah 39 HR is kind of stretching it.

I'd say realistically .285 - 25 - 95

[tiger spit]

well he already has 9 hrs so, i think saying 25 is really short changing him considering he has 9 in 100 at bats so far.....

you think he'll hit 15 more in 500 more at bats???

Yes...you do know that he hit 12 hrs last year correct? I'm just saying its a little far-fetched to think that he'll suddenly turn into a player with Giambi-type power. Sure he got a hot start, but I wouldn't get so hyped up into him continuing the power he's shown. Of course I think he'll get more rbis than last year but his HR total isn't going to be anywhere near 40 or even 35.

[bibsybob]

no, frankly i do not. This "hot start" that has already cooled off to a certain degree has not convinced me of anything.

so and offer for vaz and cabrera for

delgado,beckett and arimis is a no brainer....


im scared due to the fact that cabrera is projected the next pujols

[SaintsOfTheDiamond]

I think he has the potential, but how many players have we said that about before? If he can string together a couple more seasons like the end of last and so far this year (I'm thinking around .300 30HR 100 or so RBI's) I would be a real believer. He's still a no brainer I think as far as a keeper. Just my $.02.
