CHONE projections released

So the 2010 CHONE projections have been released. What does it look like for Astro hitters? (Note, I'm including players with projected regular playing time):
















NameBA/OBP/SLGXBH-RBIK:BB
Berkman.275/.377/.49856-89107:77
Matsui.255/.314/.36430-3978:34
Johnson.247/.288/.38530-4392:18
Manzella.245/.294/.34427-3386:26
Keppinger.282/.341/.39931-4037:33
Maysonet.240/.307/.34420-2364:25
Blum.238/.299/.36723-3952:23
Lee.292/.341/.50359-9756:37
Bourn.264/.335/.36528-2894:42
Pence.284/.344/.48358-75104:47
Towles.254/.335/.40925-3861:27
Castro.248/.315/.35425-3978:31


Should these hold up, and they've been pretty accurate, the Astros would have no .300 hitters on the 2010 club. There would be a huge drop-off from Tejada's 09 to Manzella's '10, and Chris Johnson would actually be an upgrade over Geoff Blum. Obviously they still don't think much of Chris Johnson's strike-zone control.
