Fan Projections: Get the Vote Out for Reds Players

I was just looking through the fan projections at FanGraphs and I noticed that only 4 Reds players have enough projections cast for them to qualify them for listing on FanGraphs projection page.  Looks like we need to do some ballot stuffing!

Here are the projections so far for the 4 qualifying players:

Joey Votto: .309/.396/.530 (.396 wOBA), 4.9 WAR
Jay Bruce: .269/.341/.495 (.358 wOBA), 3.2 WAR
Drew Stubbs: .265/.336/.385 (.330 wOBA), 2.5 WAR
Aaron Harang: 11-10, 4.20 ERA, 7.69 K/9, 2.34 BB/9, 3.0 WAR

Click any of the names to be taken to that player's projection edit page and you can enter a projection of your own. (NOTE: You need a FanGraphs account to create a projection. It's free and then don't hassle you at all, so don't fret!)

The reason that these guys all passed the voting threshold is because FanGraphs featured each of them at one time or another on their site.  In an attempt to boost the number of votes for some other players, here are direct links to the some of the projected starters for the Reds:

Brandon Phillips
Scott Rolen
Paul Janish
Wladimir Balentien
Chris Dickerson
Ryan Hanigan
Ramon Hernandez
Bronson Arroyo
Johnny Cueto
Homer Bailey

For many of you, this may be the last day of work this year.  You don't want to spend it doing actual work, do you?  Take some time and fill out these projections for players with your best guess as to how they will perform and let's see what kind of a team we've got on our hands right now. (Then again, that might just ruin our holiday cheer)

Just did most of the above guys

and it almost ruined my holiday when I begrudgingly projected 110ish games for Hernandez and only 50-60 for Hanigan.

yeah

but it really brightened my day to pencil in Cueto for 200+ innings with an ERA below 3.50. booya.

How well did the unicorn and leprechaun in your head do?

Because Cueto has about the same chance of playing like that. I love the guy, but I see more like 180-190 innings with an ERA around 4.

No love for Maloney? That's bologna!

He’ll probably be the 5th starter so his projection should be included too. The link.

Also - There should be absolutely no argument as to what his nickname should be

I’m ashamed to think no one mentioned it earlier. Good job Snake.

I went mostly off of his minor league numbers for that one

and it’s not like many Mariners fans saw him play in AAA either.

FTR, I think he’s going to play well this year, so much so that we won’t miss Gomes.
