SPECULATOR: The BF17 DN: list

Within the player commentaries in the 2017 Baseball Forecaster, we offer some UP: (and DN:) projections that are intended to reflect a ceiling (or floor) beyond the accompanying 2016 projection. As described in the book:

Upside (UP) and downside (DN) statistical potential appears for some players; these are less grounded in hard data and more speculative of skills potential.

Speculative? Well, that sounds a lot like what we do in this space! After two weeks of looking at the UP: list (batters | pitchers), new we look at the DN: list.

First, the batters:

Dahl,David       .275, 10 HR/15 SB
Escobar,Yunel    .260 BA.
Frazier,Todd     25 HR, single-digit SB.
Hamilton,Josh    Retirement
Heredia,Guiller  Stuck in AAA
Mazara,Nomar     300 AB,...

Almost!
