Looking Back: 3B Predictions

How'd we do on the 3B pre-season Buy/Sell recommendations?

SELL
  • Adrian Beltre - #12 on RotoTimes / #15 on ESPN Player Rater
  • Mike Lowell - #13 / #18

BUY

  • Edwin Encarnacion - #16 / #21
  • Kevin Kouzmanoff - #14 / #19

One interesting quote from the original post: "You can get Beltre's production from Edwin Encarnacion, only using a pick 3 to 4 rounds later or spending $6-9 less of your auction money."

Also - here's the comparison of actual production vs. the predictions for Encarnacion and Kouzmanoff:

  • "For 2008, a .300-25-100-90-10 line for Encarnacion is definitely within reach."
  • Current Pace: .251-29-62-82-2
  • Looks like the HR projection was good and RBI was in the neighborhood - everything else is quite a ways off.
  • "For 2008, Kouzmanoff should hit around .300 with 24 homers, 85+ RBI and 75+ Runs."
  • Current Pace: .273-22-81-69-0
  • A bit low on the BA, but everything else was on the money.
