How many games are you going to predict that the following guys play in this year. With the combination of returning injured stars and new additions, I would like to hear your feelings. Mine are, McCann 140g Tex 145g Roberts 120g Jeter 150g Johnson 110g Nunez 60g Ryan 100 g (late inning defensive replacement SS and 3B) Gardner 140g Ellsbury 135g Beltran 100 in RF 40 at DH Soraino 60 OF, 80DH
I've got a bad feeling on Tex so I'm going to put him down for about 120 games. And honestly I don't see our 40 year old SS going for 150. I'd put him closer to 130-135. And Nunez due to our musical chairs of an infield I see playing over 100 games.
I'm inclined to agree with Rick on Jeter & Tex... and I hope Rick is wrong about Nunez... I'd like to see him at or below the 60 games...
Unfortunately, knowing how Jeter is, if he is pain free, they will have to drag him out of there with chains. Tex is the big if for me this year, just a feeling.
I agree that is how Jeter is, but I think that Girardi might hold him out from more than Jeter would prefer even if he was healthy which is just as big an if for me as is Tex...
