Community Projection '08: Adam Jones
A true test of your projecting acumen!
Photo © Baltimore Sun
A few things to keep in mind:
1. Jones is 22 years old. He ripped up AAA ball last year at age 21.
2. Amazingly, he's the first Major League Baseball player in history named "Adam Jones."
3. He was still playing shortstop in 2005-06.
Jones' last three seasons:
AB AVG OBP SLG 2B HR RBI BB/K
2005 Inland Empire (A+) 271 .295 .374 .494 20 8 46 29/64
San Antonio (AA) 228 .298 .365 .461 10 7 20 22/48
2006 Tacoma (AAA) 380 .287 .345 .484 19 16 62 28/78
Seattle 74 .216 .237 .311 4 1 8 2/22
2007 Tacoma (AAA) 420 .314 .382 .586 27 25 84 36/106
Seattle 65 .246 .300 .400 2 2 4 4/21
I know it's tough to project a guy with really no ML experience, but give it a go. This promises to be one of the more interesting projections.
The line: AB, AVG/OBP/SLG, 2B, HR, RBI, BB/K

WAG (wild ass guesses)
by Dave at Bottomfeeder Baseball on Mar 14, 2008 2:05 PM EDT 0 recs
with young guys, you just never really know
Im gonna take the pessimist route here and say Jones will have a less than ideal season. I say Jones struggles badly through May or so, Macphail decides he needs some additional seasoning in AAA, and in typical O's fashion Jay Payton somehow ends up 350+ ABs. Eventually, Jones returns shortly after the all star break and plays well enough to ensure continued optimism going into 2009.
355 ABs
.243/.310/.428
19 2Bs
12 HRs
42 RBI
30/81 K/BB
Of course I have no basis in my predictions, just completely random guesses.

He will get the AB's, but disapoint. People will criticize the Bedard trade and hopefully it doesnt get to Adam's head.

Hard to know for sure about the power, though -- last year in AAA is really promising.

He's only been an Orioles for a month but I love this guy. I heard on XM radio this morning. He went on this spiel about how he knows that everybody is counting the O's out but he sees some really talent here and he know that the team is going to play the Yanks and RS tough. Yeah, it's standard BS but I love his optimistic, go get them attitude.

AJ was on XM the other day
Also said that the O's "aren't gonna lay down for anybody" or something to that effect. "Everyone has put us in last place, fourth place, already written us off, but we're not gonna make it easy for anyone." I like your enthusiasm, AJ, but the O's are going to get spanked in a major way this season. I hope you still have the same attitude going into next season, and the season after that.
