Ok, so who projects to be the awesomest at each position?

Adam Everett and Franklin Gutierrez are so good that they can play two positions at once.

Those are different projections then the one Erik is talking about. The ones you listed have been released for awhile and are TZ+BIS ZR+STATS ZR+FSR, these are just TZ, but with minor league data.

Those numbers from the bottom of the main projection page are the same as one he put on each player's card

at least for the 10 or so I checked

No they aren’t, which 10 are you looking at? Just taking players at the positions you listed here are the numbers:

Pujols: 10
Everett: 3
Rolen: 8
Everett: 13
no catcher numbers
Gutierrez: 14
Gutierrez: 8

All different, and by there being no catcher ones, it ensures that your looking at the wrong thing. Maybe you have some crazy ability to pick out the ones that are the same though.

I’m also guessing you didn’t click on each page and actually get the leaders and you copy and pasted the “Defensive Projections” tables into excel then sorted them by position. Which is all fine and all, but that is a different set of projections then what this topic is about.
