If you are a long time reader of this site, you know that pretty much every spring, in a very unscientific way, we collect the projections for Mets players from a variety of sources, average them together and create a conglomerate projection for the upcoming season (which we then return to at the end of the season).
Rather than doing that again for every player, we are going to go through some players a group at a time and look at their data. I’ve restricted it to players I’m anticipating seeing a larger portion of play time.
Today we are going to start with Pete Alonso, Robinson Cano, Yoenis Cespedes, Michael Conforto and J.D. Davis. In the table above, you can see the original conglomerate projection, titled “Average” and then a prorated 60 game version of the stats.
The player I’m wary about is Cespedes. Projections were struggling to project his playing time back in the winter and early spring. If he is healthy, he could see an uptick in playing time due to the DH. I think it’s worth bumping him up to 125-150 PA’s.
The original articles for each hitter, and sourcing material can be found with the following links: Alonso, Cano, Cespedes, Conforto and Davis.
