The results are in for the leadoff player in the 2015 VEB Community projections lineup. The VEB Community's forecasted projects for Adam Wainwright were interesting. Unlike last year, VEB is not the most optimistic in respect to Wainwright's forthcoming season. In fact, the VEB Community's projected stats were rather measured.
