What are we expecting?

[Cubsfan97]

I am just wondering what is everyone expecting form Ronny Cedeno and Matt Murton. I will have polls for a few stats. I ask please only pick one for each category to keep results from lokking weird. I will have BA, HRs, Runs, RBIs, SBs, OBP and Slugging %. I think it will be interesting on what the results look like. i know this is a hotly disputed topic right now. I will start with the BA. I will post a new one each day. I will then make a thread with the winnings from each poll.

I think Cedeno's going to be in the .250 - .275 range. At this point his real value is defensively. He's not quite fully matured as a hitter. Murton is pretty much the opposite, although he's definitely not reached his full potential offensively (who has ever done that in 150 ML at bats?). I look for a .275 - .300 BA from him, with 15 - 25 dingers and a fairly high OBP.

*Off the topic of their stats, I don't think it's necessary to create 7 different polls. Instead just have people post their predictions in the 7 categories you mentioned.

In that case, here's what I think:

BA HR R RBI SB OBP SLG
Cedeno .272 12 79 64 18 .329 .419
Murton .291 22 90 75 7 .362 .471

Wow those would be really good numbers from them. I would love to see them do somethin like that. This is what I have for them.

Cedeno
.267 BA
7 HR
63 R
49 RBI
27 SB
.348 OBP
.412 SLG

Murton
.286 BA
27 HR
87 R
84 RBI
5 SB
.384 OBP
.521 SLG

Yea I could live with those numbers too. I hope its something like that.

I'll say Cedeno posts a line something like:

BA - .260
HR - 8
RBI - 35
OBP - .335
SLG - .425
OPS - .750

Murton:

BA - .315
HR - 20
RBI - 64
OBP - .355
SLG - .515
OPS - .870

I think ndistops and Ravenlord are more realistic than us. Lets hope we're right though. And lets hope we get no injuries.

I firmly believe that Matt Murton will soon be a line drive hitting machinel.
