Prentice Redman

Has anyone else seen this guy pop out in season projections? (mainly ZiPs - see below)
He has the 6th best Runs Created on the team.
Average better than Bigbie and JRod.
Decent power but a lot of Ks.
My question is here - why did he sneak under the radar and where did these projections come from?  Has he played this well in the past?

here's an old post on the guy
http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/story/2005/11/15/84410/987

the cards signed him as a minor-league free agent. quoting myself:

" . . . outfielder prentice redman, 26, a former 10th-rd draft pick of the mets and the younger younger brother of pirates outfielder tike redman. he apparently has great raw athletic ability, including tremendous speed (250 minor-league stolen bases), but he hasn't hit. it may be that the mets mishandled him; redman put up weak numbers in the low minors, showed some promise his 1st year in double a (2002, when he was still only 22), but followed up with a so-so year in 2003 at triple-a -- whereupon the organization seemingly wrote him off. he got shipped back to double-a to start 2004, fought his way back to triple-a by the end of the year, but was back in double-a again last spring. once again he clawed his way onto the triple-a roster, and he finally hit -- .297 / .352 / .461 in 256 at-bats. this two-year-old scouting report projects redman as a serviceable reserve outfielder, and he still has time (witness j-rod) to make good on that.  . . ."

thanks lboros!
apparently I'm too recent of a VEB reader to have seen that.
I'm glad it didn't sneak past you.
