A few assorted thoughts
- I think Greinke and Gallardo could both be better than our projections, and Wolf and Narveson worse. They seem to be clustered toward the center, as it should be, because we're reflecting the middle of a distribution of possible outcomes.
- That bullpen is looking very solid. Usually there's a couple of guys who project near replacement level, which is about a 4.5 ERA, and the only guy we project above 4 is Parra, who I assume several people think will get some starts this year.
- The Fielder line would be phenomenal. I did throw out the person who projected a .999 SLG, which I think is a bit excessive.
- Community Projections tend to have a significant amount of bias toward the players. Fangraphs has written a lot about correcting for that problem. Aside from possibly the starting pitchers and maybe Fielder, I think just about everything is quite realistic here. Good work everybody.
- I'll be stashing these and breaking them out in-season to see how current performance compares to how we projected the player before the year, and then after the season to compare us to the actual lines and some other projection systems.
- Any other observations, fire away in the comments.
