2014 Cubs Projections: MusingsMarcel, Position Players

In Projections by dmick899 Comments

Baseball Musings published an early version of the Marels projection (MusingsMarcel). They did only position players right now, but it's always fun to look at projections. The Marcels are usually done by Tangotiger and he'll probably do them for 2014. These are based on Tango's Marcels method. Below are the Cubs players currently on their 40-man roster. Only players who played last season were included and Marcels assumes any player who hasn't yet played will be average. Obviously this is not accurate, but the Marcels projections are the simplest of the bunch. They are also about as accurate as any of the others.

Player Age PA Avg OBP SLG OPS
Junior Lake 23 327 .281 .337 .428 .765
Anthony Rizzo 24 582 .250 .333 .428 .761
Welington Castillo 26 433 .271 .344 .413 .757
Dioner Navarro 29 340 .265 .328 .428 .756
Nate Schierholtz 29 478 .259 .314 .438 .752
Starlin Castro 23 622 .282 .323 .411 .734
Donnie Murphy 30 294 .240 .303 .431 .734
Ryan Sweeney 28 328 .264 .325 .399 .724
Logan Watkins 24 221 .256 .323 .392 .715
Brian Bogusevic 29 318 .242 .314 .386 .700
Luis Valbuena 28 426 .229 .321 .377 .698
Darwin Barney 28 536 .244 .295 .348 .643

Yeah, so basically the Cubs offense will suck unless they go outside the system to add players.

    Braves named Brian Snitker manager of Gwinnett (IL) and Doug Dascenzo third-base coach.

    2 years til Dascenzo is the Cubs manager.

    dmick, is the new avatar a Grateful Dead thing, or what Sandra Bullock would look like if she really was floating around in space?
