Projected OPS+ numbers in the different spots of the batting order

OPS+ for the different places in the batting order (2008 based on 2007 OPS+ numbers)

2007 pr.2008 lineup

1 75 56* Gomez
2 86 117 Mauer
3 87 111 Cuddyer
4 95 121 Morneau
5 112 91* Young
6 104 109 Kubel
7 80 106 Harris
8 77 112 Lamb
9 100 56 Everett

*presumably Young and Gomez will increase their 2007 numbers.

Assuming that the starters will not start every game, there would be a 5-10% drop in those numbers due to AB by replacement players. Regardless, there is a huge difference between 2007 and 2008

You probably should have listed tOPS+ in the first column rather than sOPS+.

Hi,

I really like some of the posts you've put on some of the websites I've seen. It's funny how illogical people can be, and can't look at evidence that's right in their faces about how we COULD be good this year.

It's good to see a site that bases it's predictions on real evidence, not a stupid formula like twins plus gomez and lamb minus hunter and santana equals 65 wins.

My prediction, based mostly on... well... nothing really was 80 wins, and I'd say that we could win 90 or 70 just as easy.

Anyway, keep up the good work!
