Fan Projection Targets: 12/3/2009

by
December 3, 2009

Today’s targets are: Gregg Zaun, Rich Harden, Dan Uggla.

Zaun is a popular target among teams who are looking for a veteran catcher and has said he will sign this week. What will he do at age 39?

Harden is being pursued by several teams lured by his upside, but his durability is always a question. How many innings do you think he’ll throw?

Uggla is the most likely player to be traded at the winter meetings next week. Do you see him as a 2B or a 3B next year? How will he hit?

Yesterday, you guys projected Kelly Shoppach at +2.5 wins, Josh Johnson at +5.3 wins, and Jake Peavy at +3.8 wins. It looks like you guys are expecting good things from all three.

I’ve been waiting to hear about Harden’s signing before projecting him. As a pretty extreme FB pitcher, I want to know about his park before I prognosticate his HR/9. Since I absolutely love hard-throwing power pitchers that strike out a batter an inning, I’m not likely to forget to update this projection when the Mariners sign him. (Please, please, please, Jack, sign him to a one year contract.)
