I am just wondering what is everyone expecting form Ronny Cedeno and Matt Murton. I will have polls for a few stats. I ask please only pick one for each category to keep results from lokking weird. I will have BA, HRs, Runs, RBIs, SBs, OBP and Slugging %. I think it will be interesting on what the results look like. i know this is a hotly disputed topic right now. I will start with the BA. I will post a new one each day. I will then make a thread with the winnings from each poll.

I think Cedeno's going to be in the .250 - .275 range. At this point his real value is defensively. He's not quite fully matured as a hitter. Murton is pretty much the opposite, although he's definitely not reached his full potential offensively (who has ever done that in 150 ML at bats?). I look for a .275 - .300 BA from him, with 15 - 25 dingers and a fairly high OBP.
*Off the topic of their stats, I don't think it's necessary to create 7 different polls. Instead just have people post their predictions in the 7 categories you mentioned.A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation. I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel. I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do, play it right and with respect. If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera. - Ryne Sandberg -

I think ndistops and Ravenlord are more realistic than us. Lets hope we're right though. And lets hope we get no injuries.Originally posted by E.Banks#14Yea, I'm a wishful thinker"I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher."
