The 2017 Musings Marcels are available so you can start planning for the next season of fantasy baseball. The Marcel projections are the brain child of Tom Tango, and his explanation is here. Some highlights:
- The soon to retire David Ortiz is projected to hit .274/.357/.533.
- Nelson Cruz projects to lead the majors with 36 home runs, while Nolan Arenado project to lead the NL with 33 home runs.
- Jose Altuve projects to lead the AL with a .327 BA, while two youngsters, Trea Turner (.313) and Corey Seager (.311) fight for the NL crown.
- Joey Votto projects to an MLB best .417 OBP, while Mike Trout takes the AL crown at .408. Despite an off year, Bryce Harper projects to a .399 OBP in 2017.
- Trout leads the majors in slugging percentage with a .588 projection. Interestingly, Gary Sanchez projects to second place at .554, but Trout’s project should have a higher confidence value. Nolan Arenado leads the NL with a .549 projection, and Ortiz would finish fourth in the majors.
- In looking at the bottom of the list, the worst hitter likely to be an everyday player is Danny Espinosa, projected to post a .226/.305/.385 slash line. Or maybe JJ Hardy at .250/.293/.367.
