Looks like the folks over at CBSSports.com are gettin’ their Google on: The online sports service announced today what appears to be the fantasy baseball analysis tool Larry and Sergei would be proud to use: Their 2010 projected Power Hitter Selector. I could not get the code to work in this darn blog post, so you will need to link over and test it out. But do click over and take a look.

This bad bay estimates the coming season performance for hitting and other offensive stats in an easy to read, easy to manipulate interface. That means everybody can be their own private Peter Gammons: Taking a hard look at how what kind of output they can expect from major leaguers. And there are some real gems here. Take, Ryan Braun for example. His 37 projected home runs and what seems like a very productive 18 stolen bases make me think about signing him. If you look at strikeouts, Ryan can be a bit swing happy. He is expected to wiff a ridiculous 151 times. That will kill you come crunch time. Much more productive, I am thinking is Carlos Lee. He’ll get just 25 home runs; but will only strikes out 54 times. Considering he will probably be pretty cheap come draft time, that is some real productivity.

Now for sure, these are just guesses. Don’t fall in love with the exact numbers. The games will still need to be played, but in terms of relative values, and easy to read comparisons, This is a pretty darn interesting model. I will be using it for sure.
