I just happened to stumble across the fact that today is Joe Crede's 28th birthday.  To celebrate, I decided to project a full season of stats for everone's favorite mancrush based on the 50 games he's played (regular and postseason) since his epiphanic DL stint last year.

Here are the 50-game numbers:

AB: 173
H: 57
R: 29
2B: 12
HR: 14
RBI: 41
BB: 10
SO: 18
AVG: .329
OBP: .364
SLG: .642
OPS: 1.006
AB/HR: 12.36

To make things easy, I decided on 150 games played for a season, which seems reasonable to me. Obviously, the rate stats would stay the same, but here are the counting stats multiplied by 3:

AB: 519
H: 171
R: 87
2B: 36
HR: 42
RBI: 123
BB: 30
SO: 54

Uh, wow.  If he actually keeps this up, it's going to be a hell of a year on the South Side once again.

Happy Birthday, Joe!
