Not bad projections. The only one I have a problem with is the 25 SBs for Soriano. He should be able to top that easily. I don't see Clayton batting .283 either.

No way clayton hits .283. After 5 games, he's hitting worse than Guzman did all last season. Also, I think Zimmerman and Vidro will hit more HRs than Schneider and if Church makes it back for 120 games, he's a safe bet for 20 at least (he was on pace for 22 before getting injured last season).
