So far, 37 players have received at least 30 projections from the Fangraphs community. Nine of them are either Mariners or Mariner free agents.
The list of players projected 30+ times is a veritable who's who of the best or most popular players in the league, and Michael Saunders and Jack Wilson.
Saunders has received 28 projections from fans of his team. Zack Greinke has received 11.
Mariner fans own the internet.

Holy crap that projection for Griffey is optimistic
Poochie - December 1, 2009
Not really
Mostly BABIP normalization.
Jeff Sullivan - December 1, 2009
I'm guessing he meant PA
Wait no, that would not be optimistic.
Bearskin Rugburn - December 1, 2009
I like how KGJ has only 7 "other fans". I thought he was popular?
A WAR of 0.1 seems pretty fair for Griffey as an pitch hitter.

I wouldn't call a .333 wOBA optimistic at all
njd.aitken - December 1, 2009
I meant playing time, but I also think projecting him to slug .400 is a bit a stretch
Poochie - December 1, 2009
Yeah there is no way he gets 341
Maybe it’s so high because we haven’t signed our real DH yet.
OlSalty - December 1, 2009
Oh fair enough
Like others I figure most are projecting for the current roster makeup.
njd.aitken - December 1, 2009
own or pwn?

I think it has something to do with having the best damn blogosphere

What about the Killer Whales?
seattlebruin - December 1, 2009
If anything, they reduce our numbers by limiting our offspring.
lailaihei - December 1, 2009
I didn't realize your family consists entirely of seals.
abender20 - December 1, 2009
It would explain a lot
seattlebruin - December 1, 2009
You're ignoring the possibility that his family breeds exclusively with Robert
Bearskin Rugburn - December 1, 2009
Who do we have besides Dr. Detecto?
CapSea - December 1, 2009
Own it like a fox!

The rain forces us to stay inside and sit in front of our computers.
Other fans do not have this luxury.

Hey, maybe other teams' fans should get with it.
I did projections for the Mariners. But the fact is, I have no idea what to project for the players of other teams. I could make a guess on the players that we play a lot, but I don’t feel like it would be very well informed. I’d probably just look at the numbers from recent seasons and base my guess on that. Like a non-mathematical Marcel.

How long before the 'FG is biased in favour of the Mariners' brigade make an appearance over there? I know Matthew is a favourite of theirs.
EnglishMariner - December 1, 2009
I am honestly amazed that this doesn't have 100's of players up by now.
I thought people would have been more into this predicting stuff.
mark sobba - December 1, 2009
It'll come
Jeff Sullivan - December 1, 2009
I'm sure it will
Give me a lazy Sunday and I can fill out more than the handle I have already.
njd.aitken - December 1, 2009
I did a projection of Saunders...
And they gave him 26 triples based on my projections!! huh?
shumagorath - December 1, 2009
If true, you can modify it
Jeff Sullivan - December 1, 2009
So people seem high on Saunders defense but they doubt his bat.
Slurvey - December 1, 2009
Projecting him to be average offensively isn't doubting his bat
That’s actually quite optimistic.
