Wells has surpassed a slugging percentage of .475 a grand total of once in 4 full seasons, and he had to lead the Majors in hits to do it.
With the added protection in the lineup, and given his age I don't think .500 is a stretch, so thats what I picked.
Apparently people feel he'll have an age 27 peak. I went with .475 myself.
I went with 500 ABs and a .375/.575 line. No, that is not based on any rational analysis, but just a hunch that Wells will have a big age 27 year. If a .600 slug was one of the options, I would have marked that one.
Mike Green - in the last couple years on this site, I have never, ever hoped that anyone is as right as I hope your prediction is. I am aching for playoff baseball in Toronto and we fans likely need Wells to have a monster year for it to happen.
P.S. On the other hand, I hope you're dead wrong on Burnett. :)
I messed up on AB...was thinking slugging and voted too low...should have voted for 600 ab...
