I think something's a bit off in the spotlights; they don't match up with the "main" projections. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if Wandy's mean projection was 3.62...seems unlikely though...

Whoops! Those are John Lackey's and Ervin Santana's projections!

And Kendrick and Teixeira in place of Wigginton and Pence, if you hadn't noticed.

Knew it was too good to be true. I'm guessing Pence isn't going to start hitting like Tex either?

Seriously, thanks Dan, you're the best.

J.R. Towles sure was disappointing this year, to put it to an extreme. What the heck happened to him?

Well, I guess Yankees fans will have to wait a while for their ZiPS, right?

Top Near-Age Offensive Comps: Jerry Morales, Dan Ford

Ooh, that's not so good though better Ford than Morales.

Well, I guess Yankees fans will have to wait a while for their ZiPS, right?

Yeah, but next year they're coming in order of latitude.

How many ways can we think of ordering ZiPS to keep Dan from getting bored ... we've already had cities in both directions, we've got team names going this year ...

order of founding
all-time winning percentage
in order of the season(s) Mike Morgan pitched for them

I'm kinda of surprised at Wandy's projection, I thought it would have been better. Does ZiPS just think he was lucky this year to end up with the ERA he did?

11. Mike Webber Posted: September 30, 2008 at 01:24 AM (#2960768)

Are 'Stros fans a worried that Hunter Pence's inability to draw walks so far may keep him from becoming a really good offensive player?

12. Ivan Grushenko of Hong Kong Posted: September 30, 2008 at 01:35 AM (#2960777)

If they are, they should be really worried that Pence is projected with the third highest walk total on the team.

Hunter Pence is the least of the Astros' problems. I'd be more worried about the starting pitching and out machines in CF.

Yes, he'll reappear with the Padres - I'm sometimes a bit sloppy when it comes to the late season trades and end up including those players with both teams.

Kind of surprised that Pence projects as well as he does, though ZiPS has a much better track record than I do.

Still feels weird to not see Jimerson on the Astros' list.
