We’re going to start community projections this week. I’ll do about 2-3 players during the beginning of the week and unveil the results each Sunday in the prospect stew. I’m starting with one of my pet favorites, Jarrett Hoffpauir.
Assume that Hoffpauir’s at bats all come in Memphis this season. Here’s his player page at First Inning and Baseball-Reference. PLEASE COMMA DELIMIT.
At-bats,hits,doubles,homeruns,walks,strikeouts,runs,rbis
I’ll be giving Hoffpauir 1 triple based on luck. Other than that everything should be straight forward. This thread will be open until Saturday.

I’m no expert of minors.

I don’t do well with Minor league numbers, and I hate the idea of Hoff spending the whole year in Memphis…I’m still holding out hope for 80+ starts in STL.

Although there is no history to support this, I question the kid’s physical durability (Vina-ish size) at this level, hence the lower totals on abs. I also wonder where our other middling infielders such as Martinez (moving up), Ryan (moving down), Greene (moving up…long shot), etc. are going to end up at, perhaps causing some shared playing time at Memphis.

Quite the similarities between his 06 and 07 lines, huh? Identical ABs (393), almost BB (54/55) and K (41/39). The one huge difference is hits (98/127). I’ll wait with bated breath for you smarter folks to explain whether he was unlucky in 06 or lucky in 07 or whether something else is at work. I went with a line very close to his 07 numbers.
My guess:
