Chipper hasn't hit .300 since '03, I'd say that giving him a 64 contact coming off a .240 season and a .290 season with a potential for 70+ is about right.
Disagree on Lerew and James, James especially who doesn't have very good stuff at all. If anything, scouts are saying that his stats are very very impressive, but he doesn't project well.
Dealing with speed is a tough one, as I have no way of evaulating guys outside of what their #s say. 3 SB, 2 CS isn't very impressive for Francouer, but hopefully I can figure these out more as I go along. Since speed itself only effect speed on the basepaths, it looks pretty accurate right now.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia was named as the first-team catcher in the minor leagues for 2005. "Salty Dog" hit .314 for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, along with 19 home runs, 81 RBI, and a .394 on base percentage.
There's no WAY Elvis or Saltalamacchia are that good, Elvis is still 17, and I have yet to see a scouting website call him the best SS in baseball (although he is among them) let alone the best since A-Rod. If you really think Salt is going .315-40 in the future I would love some of what you are smoking.
Stuff effects strikeouts, so I'm not really sure why you would want Hampton (27 K in 69 IP) and Ramirez (80 in 202 IP) switched, but they are pretty close anyway.
Hope that explains things.

Again Devoted Braves fan speaking...
James had a remarkable 2005 season in the Braves' organization. He started in Myrtle Beach and ended his season in Atlanta. James went 13-7 in 29 starts in the minor leagues with an ERA of 2.12. He allowed only 103 hits in 161.1 innings pitched, 38 earned runs, 36 walks, and 193 strikeouts.
Then James was promoted to Atlanta in late September and pitched in two major league games. He allowed only one run on four hits in 5.2 innings, with three walks and five strikeouts.
Boyer just finished his first season in the big leagues. He was called up in early June and had a fantastic rookie season, going 4-2 with a 3.11 ERA in 43 games. He allowed only 32 hits in 37.2 innings pitched, along with 17 walks and 33 strikeouts.
He agrees that he exaggerated on the 40 HRs but still says he should hit 300.
