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?

how does it feel?
It feels f-ing fantastic!
We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

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....

THE NEW FACE OF THE METS...ENTHUSIASM!!  

I don't have too much to add gang. I think the picture speaks for itself. I'm not too much of a stats geek, I just go off of what I see from the players and the Win / Loss column. This pic was taken from Thursday's phenomenal game against the hated Phillies! I can't remember the last time David Wright got this excited about scoring a run or making a play. It really feels good to see the entire team enjoying a win. The team desperately needed this. I NEEDED THIS from David Wright. It just gives me goose bumps.
