The official Hall balloting will be announced in two days, and I only have two names on my inductee list for this year: Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez. Of course, two names for me is by definition. I set up my own Hal of Fame rather diferently from the official Hall or from the way … Read more

Still very much a work in progress…but as a present to everyone, story my first cut on 2015 projections are out. Wrestling with unbelievable parity in the American League.

Kind of upstaged by today’s events, but I uploaded the 2014 Cuban stats to the site this weekend. Check under the “DTs by League” tab, and then change League to Cuban Serie Nacional. I was working on a longer post to detail the fairly major change I made to the DT procedure for Cubans, but … Read more

I’ve rerun all the player cards with a 2015 projection, so you should be able to see indivduals up now. Not that they won’t change between now and April, as I have any number of things to work through that are not included in this version. As a for instance, the default setting for league … Read more

Hello everybody. Peabody here. Shame I can’t earn any endorsements for the upcoming movie, because I can so do that voice. At least the original one, and when I’m not cold-ridden like I’ve been this weekend, pretty much confining myself to the room with the wood stove. So I have looked back at the projections … Read more

Davis’ component-power score is only projected to be a +35 (he says “only”), after putting up a surprising 50 last year. His three-year line for power going into 2014 is 29, 27, 50. I did a quick search for players who 1) had 250 PA each across a four season span 2) were 26-30 in … Read more

mark says: Show your projections from last year. On the Projections page, there are links to the 2012 and 2013. They are from the saved spreadsheets that I have from the dates given, and run through the same csv-to-webpage script I used to make the current pages. tangotiger says: To help people understand how the … Read more
