Baseball Prospectus Favorites - Hitters Edition

I love Baseball Prospectus and their PECOTA projection system. I'm currently in the process of adjusting my rankings based on things I'm seeing in PECOTA. But, for now, I thought it would be interesting if I took PECOTA's projections and plugged them into my ranking system. I can't share their actual projections because I could get sued. But, here are some highly ranked players using PECOTA's projections.

(Their rank among all hitters is listed first. The second number is their rank at their position.)

Ryan Braun (3, 2)
Derrek Lee (16, 5)
Corey Hart (18, 3)
Ryan Zimmerman (29, 8)
Chris Young (30, 9)
Jay Bruce (32, 11)
Edwin Encarnacion (50, 9)


And some they like less than most:

Carlos Beltran (28, 8)
Chone Figgins (74, 14 - third base)
Manny Ramirez (93, 38)
Miguel Tejada (122, 10)
Howie Kendrick (174, 13)
Edgar Renteria (274, 22)
