Community Projection Results: David Wright

You projected David Wright the other day, and here are the results.

PA BB K SB CS HR AVG OBP SLG
AA 682 103 101 28 5 35 0.326 0.424 0.571
Bill James 687 84 113 26 7 31 0.318 0.407 0.556
CHONE 652 82 96 25 6 28 0.317 0.410 0.544
Marcel 622 72 98 23 4 24 0.315 0.397 0.527
ZiPS 663 87 113 23 5 29 0.313 0.405 0.540
PECOTA 688 85 106 21 5 31 0.309 0.400 0.563

As usual, our best guestimates are more optimistic than any of the fancy computer projection systems. By quite a bit, we pegged all of Wright's rate stats ahead of everybody else. We expect him to draw many more walks and club a few more homeruns than even the most glass-half-full forecast out there. Whatever, he's already the top-rated fantasy third baseman, and he's about to play his age 25 season.

Question of the day: How does it feel to know that David Wright is a Met, will be a Met for a long time, is already one of the best all-around players in baseball and is still a few years away from his prime?

it feels great!
My question is, though:  why do all the projections expect a DECLINE from last season in every number, regardless of how small it is?  It just doesn't make sense to me, considering he's still only 25 and only maturing....
