community projection: rick ankiel

round 2 of the tournament begins today; results are in the post directly below this one.

i finally got a chance to read the outstanding series alex belth posted over at Bronx Banter last week. it's about Ray Negron, whose official title is "special adviser to Mr. Steinbrenner" but whom alex more aptly describes as a gypsy. long posts, but highly recommended:

today's community projection ought to be interesting. i really urge you to jot down your figures before you scroll through those that have already been posted; go straight from your gut. give me your best guess as to ankiel's final 2008 totals in these 7 categories:

AB,R,HR,RBI, AVG,OBP,SLG

and please comma-delimit as shown above (ie, no spaces). out of curiosity, i decided i'd add ankiel's actual major-league stats last year to his estimate major-league equivalents from memphis the first 4 months of the year. here's how that line looks:

AB H 2B 3B HR BB AVG OBP SLG
MLE 399 94 15 3 24 20 .236 .279 .469
actual stats 172 49 8 1 11 13 .285 .328 .535
TOTAL 571 143 23 4 35 33 .250 .296 .489

i'll post the projection results on thursday.
