These are lovely projections, but not realistic.

Why is it doubtful that Jones hits 34 bombs in Dodger Stadium? Jones has averaged 34 home runs per season for his career and, despite its reputation, Dodger Stadium is
more favorable for home runs than Turner Field.
I don't quite understand where you stand on LaRoche v. Kent. However, I do think with playing time LaRoche's stats would be quite comparable to the ZiPS projections. And, while I do not think Kent's performance will drop that precipitously this season (or hope, perhaps), one has to assume that, at 39, his numbers will begin to tail off some time in the near future.
I am not by any means saying that you are wrong or anything of the sort - I'm, rather, attempting to make this forum more active with discussion and debate.
