I said you were being a "tad" optimistic, which means just a little. I didn't say you were reaching.

Reed- had great numbers while platooning with Cat, but look at his numbers from after he became a full time player. They don't compare.

Overbay- Not a bad prediction, I wouldn't be surprised if his OBP and SLG were a little lower, but I don't expect anything better then what you are predicting.

Wells- I never said unrealistic. He has done better than this yes, but he hasn't done it year in year out so I would say I don't expect this level from him but he certainly is capable of it, and in a contract year he probably will produce it.

Thomas- Once again I never said pipe dream I said a tad optimistic. Yes THomas did it last year, but he has been mostly out of the lineup the last 3 years. So I would say a repeat of last year is his ceiling. I think he can do it, but I don't see him doing better than last year.

Glaus- once again I never said reach. If he is healthy all year he should be able to do something like this I agree.

Rios- Yes he was on pace, but the fact remains that he has never done anything close to this over a full season.

Hill- I think he can produce at that level but I don't think he can do much better.

Phillips- Hopefully he won't be starting for us, It may be his 162 game average but I don't think he would give us a .700 OPS over a full year. Plus name me the last catcher who played 162 games in a season?

Adams- This one I don't see as much of a reach, I'm confident he can give us a .700 OPS

Hallady- If Healthy is the key word here.

Burnett- Once again if healthy.

Chacin- Once again if healthy, he might havebeen on pace for 15 wins but he has never won 15 and I would say 15 wins is his ceiling

Marcum- Please stop misquoting me I never said "Completely unreasonable"

Jansenn- see above.

Let me clarify my original point since you misunderstood it. I think all the predictions above are within reach of each players potential. However there will be some dissapointments on next years team as there are every year and there will be some cases that due to injuries or bad performances certain players you listed will fall significantly short of your projections. If every one of your projections turns out to be 100% accurate, we are a playoff team and don't need to add anybody else.
