The table above shows the Red Sox primary hitters for the start of 2022 with their age and career, 2021, and projected 2022 wRC+ (average of seven different projections given by FanGraphs). You'll note that projection algorithms never predict a breakout year for a player and usually predict "somewhere between their career average and last year's number."
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to grade those projections by predicting either over or under for each player.
Poll will close at the end of April but we can go back and check how we collectively fared later in the season.
Good luck!
