Opening Day Predictions

I am wondering which card will be this years Matt OLSON 2017 card. I think I was able to draft him once. 67 bombs in 492 abs (took a few long injuries). Maybe there will be some crazy unleashed cards, like Rowdy TELLEZ.

No question about it. 2018's Matt Olson will be Luke Voigt.

Ryder Jones has 39.5 HR chances vs RHP, 14.4 vs LHP. Too bad he only had 8 AB.

No question about it. 2018's Matt Olson will be Luke Voigt.

You are correct Kev...

I was looking at my Pre-Card drafts.

I don't think Voight can hit 80+ HRs like Olson. Voight will only get about 30% of his ABs vs. LHP. Olson crushed RHP which was about 70% of his ABs.

To Kev's point:

Olson had 10.8 natural HR's vs. LHP and 19.4 vs. RHP

Voit - 18.7 vs. LHP and 8.3 vs. RHP

I'm not sure the question was who in this year's set is better than Olson. I think it was more like who in this year's set will hit more HR than anyone else in this year's set similar to how Olson was compared to the 2017 set. I think Voight will be the HR man of the 2018 set is what I was saying.

Maybe Max Muncy will be the leader but not to the extent that Olsen did in 2017?

I'd have to guess next Thursday, 2/28 would be consistent with past decisions, but we'll see!
