2011 Bill James Cubs Projections
The cover of the Bill James 2011 Handbook features the Reds' Joey Votto. Last year's edition featured the Rays' Evan Longoria, who went on to a fine year and led his team to the postseason. Let's hope that isn't the case for Votto in 2011. Every year, James posts projections for future...
CHONE’s 2010 Rockies vs RMN’s 2010 Rockies
Many of you remember last spring when my articles focused on the pitching rotation and my expectations for the 2009 season. Welllll, rest assured, I won't be doing that again this season. Especially with less than 1 week until opening day. No, instead, what I figure we do is sit down and have a...
How will the Reds do this year? A team projection.

AL Central Position Player Projected WAR
Glorious tables to follow. All the data is from fangraphs' two WAR projections, CHONE and the fans. Points of note: 1)There were a few very young/obscure players whom the fans didn't have at least 10 votes on, in which case CHONE was used. 2)Each lineup projected by the fans has on average 15%...
Monday Rockpile: Projecting pitchers, Bill James-style
Not much news on the Rockies out there. If you're an Indians fan, you can discuss hiring Manny Acta as manager. Or if you're a Cardinals fan, there's a rumor going around that Mark McGwire will be the new hitting coach for the team. Seems it isn't a rumor anymore. That's ripe for discussion. But...
Friday Rockpile: Serious(?) Trade Proposals, Matzek Impresses, 2010 Projections
Wacky Offseason Idea I | Colorado Springs IndependentRalph Routon from the Indy (see sidebar): Possible trade? Let's see, the Boston Red Sox may give up on closer Jonathan Papelbon, who turns 29 next month, and Colorado should be in the market after Huston Street's sad playoff ending. So how about...
Checking out Bill James Projections for 2010
We're still a week away from the World Series, but now is as good of a time as any to start checking out projections for the 2010 season. I've gotten my hands on the initial set of Bill James Projections for next season, so I thought I'd share them with you. The full set of projections will be...
