Quirky MLB Projections

Chase Utley is on pace to hit 60 home runs, the most ever by a second baseman. (10 HR/27 G)

Albert Pujols is on pace to walk 167 times, the 5th highest single-season total. (29 BB/28 G)

Both Ryan Howard and Mark Reynolds are on pace to strike out 228 times, which would break the 199 K record Howard set last year. (38K/27 G)

Roy Halladay is on pace to throw 21 complete games. (4CG/6 starts)

Roy Halladay is on pace to throw 16 complete game losses. (3CG losses/6 starts)

Ken Griffey Jr. is on pace to hit 23 home runs, giving him 616 career home runs and passing Sammy Sosa (609HR) to move into 5th place all-time. (4HR/27 G)

A.J. Pierzynski is on pace to get hit by 6 pitches this season, which most would agree is not nearly enough. (1HBP/ 25 G)

Miguel Tejada is on pace to age three years, from 31 to 34, a new single-season record.

Barry Bonds is on pace to go 162 games without being missed by anyone.

Jim Thome is on pace to strike out 181 times, giving him 2238K's for his career, safely keeping him behind Sammy Sosa's 2306K's for 2nd all-time, and thus continuing my ability to poke fun at that stat. However, that's not nearly as enjoyable as this:

Sorry, Croat, I couldn't resist.
