Dan Szymborski released his 2011 ZiPS projections.
Highlights for me:
- Nate Schierholtz is projected to hit better than Mark DeRosa. This is no surprise, obviously, with DeRosa coming off of wrist surgery, but it’s still interesting. If there’s an outfield spot open, I’d much rather see the trio of Ross/Torres/Schierholtz out there than DeRosa/Torres/Ross.
- Brandon Belt: .266/.357/.440
- Freddy Sanchez…he’s aging, but I think he can do better than his projection of .278/.320/.386
