From the original list, The following are the ones that I expect to have up years when compared to the Steamer projections:

Miley - pitchers park and better defense behind him... I'm liking a monster first half of 2.5 and settling in for 3 for year

Cruz - I expect him to drop a few homers and maybe a few points of OBP and SLG, but still be over 3

Felix - he always seems to get rejuvenated by change... solid 4.8

Cano - I just have a feeling he has something to prove... solid 4.4

Marte / Taylor - squeemish, but getting over 2.5 SHOULD be doable by this pair

Clevenger - I'm with Doc, there is something here... maybe over 2 by himself.

Paxton - The kid has got to stay healthy at some point, and then reaching 2 should be easy

Montero - yes Montero, but it will probably be on another team as well...

  

Guys meeting the projections I believe are:

Lind, Taijuan, Aoki, Smith, Benoit, Karns (hard to be under that number), and Martin (defense alone should get him there, but it may just be all he has) 

Guys I believe will fail to meet numbers:

Guti, Kuma, Seager, Ciseck, and Ianetta

Plus I fully expect negative numbers by the bullpen and scrubs if only because they will be rotated through so much

My totals come out to roughly 78 wins, but I expect the year to be similar to two years ago with a fade at the end.
