Disclaimer:  ZiPS projections are computer-based projections of performance.  
Performances have not been allocated to predicted playing time in the majors - 
many of the players listed above are unlikely to play in the majors at all in 2007.  
ZiPS is projecting equivalent production - a .240 ZiPS projection may end up 
being .280 in AAA or .300 in AA, for example.  Whether or not a player will play 
is one of many non-statistical factors one has to take into account when predicting 
the future.

Since I'm done the projections, other than new projections that need to be added, 
players are now noted with their current teams unless Dan has made a mistake.  
This is very possible as a lot of minor-league signings are generally unreported in
the offseason.  

ZiPS is projecting based on the AL having a 4.51 ERA and the NL having a 4.37 ERA

David Wright jersey for me.

How about guys who posted before he made the offer? That sounds like a fair compromise :-)
   104. Hammered to the Gap Posted: January 15, 2007 at 12:27 PM (#2280667)
D. Lee road jersey for me, and I'm in for $25 if he doesn't make it.

And who's backing up Zaun this year? Phillips? Seems like a pretty big drop after the last few years.
   105. Holliday in Alameda (jonathan) Posted: January 16, 2007 at 08:09 PM (#2281477)
Wait people were gonna hold him to it?



Now that's a bit much.
   106. Daryn Posted: January 16, 2007 at 09:24 PM (#2281504)
I'll also pony up $10 to the United Way if Towers fails.
   107. MSI Posted: January 17, 2007 at 12:12 AM (#2281590)
No no there's no way anyone holds him up to it. And it's not gonna happen anyway. It's funny to see everyone's favourite Jersey. Here's an idea: everyone goes and buys their own desired jersey, whether the Cano or Mike Schmidt or what have you.
   108. jp's hyper-timid incrementalist bullshit Posted: January 17, 2007 at 05:59 PM (#2282014)
im curious about how they were planning to hold him up to it.

Francisco Liriano here. Autographed. With his good arm. Made out to Tommy John.

We're just having a little fun - EP would have to be nuts to make a $10,000 bet with a bunch of internet goofs.

If it were real, I'd totally ask for a game-used 1903 Ed Delahanty Washington jersey, signed by all 5 Delahanty brothers.

Wow, what would I actually want if I could have any jersey...

Current would be Doc. Classic would be Old Hoss Radbourne... probably Providence.

Thats mgl with the 10k bets.

Eve P, my $10 to the Hamilton United Way is already in. I'll take a 1915 Brooklyn Tip-Tops #8 with KAUFF and ahistorical name-and-numbering be damned.

Or alternatively, given that you'll never find it, a Tony Fernandez #1 will do fine.
   117. John Lowenstein Apathy Club Posted: January 26, 2007 at 11:40 PM (#2287091)
OK, for whatever reason my last one didn't take. Eve P, my $10 to the Hamilton United Way is already in and you can e-mail me if you want the receipt. I'll take a Brooklyn Tip-Tops with #8 and KAUFF on it, and ahistoricism be damned.

Or alternatively, since you'll never find it, I'll take a Tony Fernandez #1.
   118. NTNgod Posted: January 26, 2007 at 11:41 PM (#2287092)

Post-Doobie Brothers, or with Doobie Brothers?

Post-Doobie Brothers, or with Doobie Brothers?

"Hi! I'm Hollywood Steve. You've caught me making love. Tonight's thread is about a gentleman's wager that took ten years, a pop music revolution, and 300 baseball jerseys to settle."
   120. The Bones McCoy of THT Posted: February 19, 2007 at 05:20 PM (#2300177)
If Josh Towers throws 176 innings with a 4.70 era, I will personally buy everyone who posts in this thread a jersey of your favorite team.


Blue Jays with a #50 please.

Best Regards

John
