The 2008 CHONE projections for hitters are available. Here are a few key free agents lines:
- Barry Bonds: .272/.446/.558
- Alex Rodriguez: .303/.420/.588
- Kosuke Fukudome: .283/.373/.465
- Torii Hunter: .282/.345/.491
- Andruw Jones: .246/.339/.472
- Mike Lowell: .283/.346/.455
- Aaron Rowand: .277/.343/.443
- Mike Cameron: .246/.331/.435
- Mike Piazza: .260/.321/.430
- Sammy Sosa: .234/.303/.418
- Julio Franco: .231/.307/.324
I hope Franco keeps playing till he’s 50. Anyway, download the whole dealio and entertain yourself for hours…

I wonder how he predicts Hunter to have a .345 OBP; he’s at .324 for his career, with a high of .337.
You know, that is a very good question.
50? I can’t wait for Julio Franco to be the first player to play into his 60’s . . .
This is how he explained it:
“It might just be a case of him projected as a free agent. Free agents are projected to play in an average park against a difficulty level 1/2 way between AL and NL.”
