PECOTA: Farns Good, Damon Bad
From the Chicago Tribune:
What is PECOTA thinking for 2006? Silver sees a big upside for pitchers B.J. Ryan, A.J. Burnett and Kyle Farnsworth, and Tampa Bay outfielder Aubrey Huff, who has been mentioned in numerous trade rumors. He's not as excited about Thome ("when a guy hits his 30s and starts getting injured, they keep getting injured") or Johnny Damon, who recently left the Boston Red Sox and signed a four-year, $52 million contract with the New York Yankees ("He'll miss Fenway"). PECOTA sees Damon hitting .290 with 13 homers and 68 RBIs next season, and then declining slowly over the next five years.
No word on what PECOTA thinks A-Rod will now do in the WBC.
