While rummaging through my archives at Ducksnorts in preparation for the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual, I came across this gem on everyone’s second favorite superhero, Jack Cust. Check out his preseason projections:
| BA | OBP | SLG | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bill James | n/a | ||
| Chone | .228 | .365 | .377 |
| Marcel | .278 | .343 | .444 |
| ZiPS | .232 | .366 | .403 |
| Average | .246 | .358 | .408 |
So, yeah, his .256/.408/.504 performance for the A’s in 2007 qualifies as a surprise. Just a tad…
