Fantasy Players are dusting off their notes, and getting ready for the 2016 year. We looked at how we did for our preseason projections based on player performances.
It was another banner year for MLB Reports predicting. We carried a 9 – 4 record (.692). Here is a look at we said back in March..

With an injury early, followed potentially with his usual dead arm period about a month into the year, you may only see the big LHP start about 25 games. For those reasons alone, I would take the under on this selection.
Total by Chris Sale (CWS)
Over 14½ Wins +100
Under 14½ Wins -130 –
13 Wins Record 1 – 0

Hernandez cracked the 15 Win barrier for the 1st time since 2009, when he led the American League last year, when he took home 15 victories. Aided by a better offense than has ever backed him, you best believe he would be near his 2009 total. Take the over on this one. Bank it baby.
Total by Felix Hernandez (SEA)
Over 14½ Wins -140
Under 14½ Wins +110
18 wins Record 2 – 0

Zimmermann won 14 contests last year, after putting up a 19 win campaign in 2013 to lead the National League. He is in a contract year, and he is full value to pick over this total this upcoming year.
Total by Jordan Zimmerman (WSH)
Over 13½ Wins -130
Under 13½ Wins +100
13 Wins Record 2 – 1

Adrian Gonzalez has only hit about a tater for every 7 games played as a Dodger, and you can bet he will be pitched around more this campaign without the backing of Hanley Ramirez.
Total by Adrian Gonzalez (LAD)
Over 23½ Home Runs -110
Under 23½ Home Runs -120
28 HRs Record 2 – 2

Bryce Harper heated up in the last 6 weeks of the year – with nearly 10 HRs to end 2014 in that time. Only injury would prevent him from surpassing this over/under of 24.5 this season. He should hit 28 – 35 HRs this season.
Total by Bryce Harper (WSH)
Over 24½ Home Runs -110
Under 24½ Home Runs -120
41 HRs Record 3 – 2

Inevitably, this guy will get hurt and miss chunks of the season. As such, he will be limited in AB, and that total of 24.5 HRs is very high.
Total by Carlos Gonzalez (COL)
Over 24½ Home Runs +100
Under 24½ Home Runs -130
40 HRs Record 3 – 3

One could say that even in the most abysmal of circumstances last year, Davis still almost hit hat total last season, clubbing 26 Bolts in 127 Games Played. Look for him to crush between 35 – 42 HRs this season.
Total by Chris Davis (BAL)
Over 31½ Home Runs -130
Under 31½ Home Runs +100
- 46 HRs Record 4 – 3

Jose Abreu vaulted himself onto the American League power scene, but it may be hard to break the sophomore jinx. If the team is more competitive, he will also draw a lot more Intentional Walks this season. Taking the under, but it maybe since he want his Batting Average and OBP to remain high this campaign.
Total by Jose Abreu (CWS)
Over 33½ Home Runs -115
Under 33½ Home Runs -115
-30 HRs Record 5 – 3

Yoenis Cespedes has hit at least 22 HRs in each of his 1st 3 years, and he will be ultra motivated to hit the long bombs in a contract year. If he is on, no ballpark will hold his power. That is a low number.
Total by Yoenis Cespedes (DET)
Over 23½ Home Runs -130
Under 23½ Home Runs +100
- HRs – 35 Record 6 – 3

I would take the under on this one. I believe that the Red Sox veteran will get banged up the way he plays, and only appear in 135 – 140 Games. The club has a lot of depth now, and he could take the odd day off as well. I project a .285 – .290 Average, but with about 550 AB, he would fall short of this clip.
Total by Dustin Pedroia (BOS)
Over 161½ Hits -120
Under 161½ Hits -110
– 111 Hits Record 7 – 3

Jose Altuve was the National League Batting leader and was inked to a major team friendly contract a few years back. The 2012 and 2014 ALL – Star has a Career 3 Slash of .302/.341/.401 – with 131 SB and 630 Hits in his 514 Games Played. Altuve also led the MLB with Hits (225) and the AL in SB (56) – in winning his 1st Silver Slugger Award. I doubt he will drop 41 hits this season.
Total by Jose Altuve (HOU)
Over 184½ Hits -140
Under 184½ Hits +110
- Hits 200 Record 8 – 3

Take the under on Pablo Sandoval. Last year’s hit total was the only time he had more hits than this over/under in the last 5 years. It may be tough for him to stay healthy for a full season 2 campaigns in a row.
Total by Pablo Sandoval (BOS)
Over 156½ Hits -120
Under 156½ Hits -110
- Hits 115 Record 9 – 3
Total by Yasiel Puig (LAD)
Over 157½ Hits -125
Under 157½ Hits -105
- Hits 72 – Record 9 – 4

This is the biggest no brainer on the board. Yasiel Puig’s 162 Game average already reads at 182 hits per, and I think this guy is just getting started. I won’t be surprised if he challenges for the MVP crown in the National League in 2015. He would most certainly crack the 158 hit barrier. For the record, the 24 Year Old has 287 Hits in 252 Career Games Played.
