Shawn Green 2007 Prediction

Shawn Green:

Average:270

Homeruns:15

RBI:63

Doubles:27

Stolen Bases:6


~These stats are if Shawn Green is the starting RF in 2007, and never loses his job. Shawn Green has had some great years. Years that great players will never achieve, but those days are over.It should be expected Shawn Green at age 34 should start to decline fast. Last year when Green came to the Mets he hit .257 in 113 at bats.. Predicting an entire year playing for the Mets at Shea, you can expect Greens power numbers to go down even more then last year.

Realistically Green should not be the starting Right Fielder going into the season. Even if you believe these stats are fine, they are empty numbers. Green does not hit with runners in scoring position. Green is not the clutch hitter you want up in a late inning game.
Also these offensive stats don't show how much the team loses on defense with Green in the game. Green has ZERO range, and NO ARM. Thus making Carlos Beltran try to cover LF (Moises Alou 41 years old) and Right Field. All this means is horrible DEFENSE that will cost the Mets some games.. Lastings Milledge should be the starting RF, and Milledge will be the next player predicted.
