The Giants 2012 Average Projections:  Position Players


I will do something a little different this year and instead of doing my own projections I will post the averages of the different projection systems available on Fangraphs. If I have time before the season starts maybe I will update my model and put the new numbers in there but I am not sure if I will have the time to do that so this might have to suffice this season.
