Stupid Things I’ve Said This Year: Part 1

Just holding myself accountable. We’re limiting the discussion to baseball. My wife probably could start a whole new blog if we wanted to extend this to other categories.

  • March 23, 2005
    Projected Sean Burroughs to hit .304/.362/.432. [He was hitting .255/.327/.302 before being shipped back to Portland.]
  • March 27, 2005
    Projected Khalil Greene to hit .274/.345/.490. [He is hitting .257/.304/.427 but has made two extended trips to the DL.]
  • March 29, 2005
    Got a little too excited about the Humberto Quintero/Tim Redding trade. [It didn't really work for either team, although at least Quintero is still with the Astros.]
  • March 31, 2005
    • Picked the Pads to finish 87-75 and win the wild card. [It will take a minor miracle for them to win as many as 87 games; thankfully they won't need that many to win the NL West.]
    • Projected Adam Eaton to win 15 games and finish with a sub-3.80 ERA. [He was well on his way before getting hurt.]
    • Predicted Jake Peavy would get at least one vote for the Cy Young Award. [Too early to know for sure, but I'm sticking by this one.]
    • Projected Xavier Nady to hit .297/.355/.512. [He's hitting .262/.315/.469.]
    • Predicted the Padres wouldn’t re-sign Ramon Hernandez. [This is pretty much a no-brainer now.]
