2009, ZiPS In-Season Projections: Hitters through April 28

This is the first build of what will be a monthly feature for hitters and pitchers, updated ZiPS projections that takes into account the changes in probability new data creates. I am also including full-season projections, which are the sum of to-date statistics and rest-of-season projections. Minimum 40 PA required for inclusion and no minor league data is considered.

Why does ZiPS want to make Ryan Howard MVP again?

2. Danny Posted: April 29, 2009 at 01:36 AM (#3156902)

Chris Davis has 33 Ks in 67 AB. Wow.

3. battlekow Posted: April 29, 2009 at 02:09 AM (#3156906)

How did Ryan Braun's walk total drop from 45 to 44 given that he's already walked 14 times (against 14 strikeouts)?

How did Ryan Braun's walk total drop from 45 to 44 given that he's already walked 14 times (against 14 strikeouts)?

I'm not following. He's now projected to walk 57 times.

For both rest-of-year and season projections, batting and slugging averages match up to the projected hit and AB totals, but projected OBP > (H+BB+HBP)/(AB+BB+HBP+SF). Am I missing something?

6. Dan Szymborski

Posted: April 29, 2009 at 09:26 AM (#3157073)

D'oh! I had a typo in the denominator (I had it as AB+BB+HBP+-SF). I'll fix and re-upload.

OK, all uploaded now.

I recommend Dave Cameron's post on this at fangraphs.

Excuse while I go claim Ian Stewart...

10. Greg K : President of the Shooty Fanclub Posted: April 29, 2009 at 12:25 PM (#3157416)

You mean ZiPS is not projecting Marco Scutaro to continue getting a walk a game?

ZiPs like Brewers.

12. battlekow Posted: April 29, 2009 at 01:59 PM (#3157692)

I'm not following. He's now projected to walk 57 times.

Sorry, I was (of course) looking at just his projected walks for the rest of the year. I should stop following Brian Wilson's example.

Excuse while I go claim Ian Stewart...

If you want to do this in fantasy, go right ahead, but if it's number one fandom you seek, you'll have to go through me.

Poor Aaron Hill. ZIPS has him turning back into a pumpkin at 3:30 in the afternoon. Only 9 hr and a .746 OPS. He already has hit 6, and his OPS is sitting at .966/
