When you look at his 2009 campaign and see 24

Only one catcher (Joe Mauer) with more than 450 at bats last season had a BABIP o .329 or better.Secondly, the strikeout rate. When you look at his 2009 campaign and see 24.3 percent rate compared to his 18.43 percent minor league career mark, it is easy to scream aberration. Un ortunately, at two o his career minor league stops, he was abo e 20 percent, including a 21.3 percent mark in 141 Triple-A at-bats. While I wouldn’t expect an explosion to the 30 HR mark, breaking the 20 HR barrier is quite likely.? Run ProductionIt’s really too early to tell how the Orioles' lineup is going to be built and where he is going to it into the mix.

Catchers and runs scored, howe er, are not terms that are synonymous with each other. As long as he can get into the 65-70 range, which he should, he is not going to be a hindrance to your team there.As ar as RBI goes, he pro ed last season that he has the ability when gi en the opportunity. He’s going to be an asset here, with just six catchers exceeding 80 RBI in 2009. That’s right around the area I’d expect him to reach, especially i he inds himsel in the i th or sixth hole in the lineup.? The Projection.280 (147-525), 20 HR, 85 RBI, 70 R, 0 SB, .322 BABIP, .353 OBP, .463 SLG? Parting ThoughtsI’m sure these numbers are little bit more conser ati e than many would like to see, but you ha e to be a little cautious with Wieters. It’s not that he doesn’t ha e the talent, because we all know he does, but there are some warning signs that he has to pro e he can o ercome be ore you should expect elite numbers.As it is, these projections likely would put him among the top se en catchers in the league, which goes along with expectations.What do you think o these early projections Are they reasonable Are you expecting signi icantly better or worse numbersTHIS ARTICLE IS ALSO EATURED ON ZURICH, SWITZERLAND and MONTERREY, MEXICO, Jan 15(MARKET WIRE) Barry Callebaut opens a new state-o -the-art chocolate actory inMonterrey, Mexico, representing its third largest chocolate production acility worldwideAnnual production capacity o around 100,000 tonnesGateway to promising Central and South American chocolate marketsBarry Callebaut AG, the world's leading manu acturer o high-qualitycocoa and chocolate products, today inaugurated its new state-o -the-artchocolate actory located in Monterrey, Mexico.
