For each player presented, we'll give you his three year stat profile (and an quick outlook provided by yours truly). Based on all that, we'll be asking everyone to post your reasoned estimates/optimistic projections/wild guesses of each players batting/pitching line for 2007.

The basic premise is that the more predictions we get, the more realistic the community projection will be. I first saw the idea in use over at John Sickels' Minor League Baseball site and with Mr. Sickels' blessing, we've brought it over here. Here's the roster:

C: Jorge Posada
1B: Doug Meintkiewicz
2B: Robinson Cano
SS: Derek Jeter
3B: Alex Rodriguez
LF: Hideki Matsui
CF: Johnny Damon
RF: Bobby Abreu
DH: Jason Giambi
Bench: Melky Cabrera

SP: Chien-Ming Wang
SP: Mike Mussina
SP: Andy Pettitte
SP: Carl Pavano
SP: Kei Igawa

RP: Kyle Farnsworth
RP: Scott Proctor
RP: Luis Vizcaino

CL: Mariano Rivera
