My latest article over at Hardball Times re-examines career projections for Barry Bonds from before the 1997 season. Hint: He hit a few more home runs than predicted.

















Do you have the projections for other players too? I’m sure they exceeded what they were projected to do. clemens im sure did, maybe sosa and mcgwire too?
No, I don’t believe Bill James was publishing his career projections at that time (I can’t find them, anyway). It would be interesting to go back and run those numbers as well.
