SF Giants 2011 Projections

With Spring Training just around the corner, it's time for the 2011 projections. The data below was furnished by CBS Sports, and I took the liberty to list the position players, starters, and bullpen. It should be no surprise that we'll have no uber sluggers on the team, but the forecast is for Posey to carry the offensive load and leading the team in runs batted in and batting average. It appears that Pablo will have minor bounce-back year, but still shy of his 2009 stats. The one surprise has to be Pat Burrell, not sure how he's going to achieve those numbers with limited starts and being pulled out of the game for defensive purposes.

The starting pitching looks pretty much like I envisioned, with Zito carrying the back end of the rotation, and the bullpen looks pretty solid.
