Wow. Those projections aren't kind to the Cubs. They had questionable OBPs anyway, but this doesn't look good.

Troy Percival, cliff. Cliff, Troy Percival. Seriously, a 5.06 ERA? Ouchie.

On the other hand, looking at his stats (7 HR, 19 BB, 33 SO in 50 IP), how did he end up with a 2.90 ERA this year anyway?
   3. DKDC Posted: October 14, 2004 at 11:36 PM (#917279)
No Luis Lopez?

What order are the hitters listed in? Some sort of comprehensive offensive measure?

Thanks for the good work, Dan.

I'm surprised that there's so little love for Corey Patterson - ok, so the projection calls for his BA/OBP/SLG to remain essentially unchanged ... but why would his SB/game rate go down so significantly from the past 2 years?

I think Corey is on the Marquis Grissom career path, only he decided to go down the sacrifice-all-aspects-of-your-game-for-a-few-more-home-runs road a few years earlier in his career than Grissom did.

So why does ZIPS project a dip in HRs also?

BTW, Corey's actually been making some real progress at taking more pitches. 45 walks this year may not seem like a lot, but it was his career high and reflects a multi-year trend of improvement.
   8. Neil Posted: October 15, 2004 at 04:11 PM (#918208)
A couple projections I'd be wary of right off the bat - Pedro, Borowski, Kim. I wonder if Pedro's HR rate this year has to do with his decreased velocity (which I doubt if he'll regain). Also, Borowski and Kim are injured and have suffered decreased velocity as well - not good signs :(, and not good for projections when using the last couple years as samples of true talent.

Also, Giles seems to have a smaller upside because of his size. I'd think he'd plateau quicker than peak, especially if he's filled out his small body already.
   9. Neil Posted: October 15, 2004 at 04:12 PM (#918211)
Also - that's a harsh projection for Webb - does ZiPs take into account GB/FB ratio in conjunction with the defense behind a pitcher?

And does it use GB/FB as an projection tool for HR allowed?
   10. Neil M Posted: October 15, 2004 at 06:29 PM (#918395)
Why does Carlos Zambrano's ERA, (3.66/3.11/2.75 for his three seasons to date) project to 3.52?
   11. alex ciepley Posted: October 18, 2004 at 11:01 AM (#922977)
How 'bout Glendon Rusch? I'm curious what his numbers would be -- wouldn't he be in this group?
   12. Dan Szymborski Posted: October 18, 2004 at 03:49 PM (#923483)
Big Z's been very good, but he's been outperforming his DIPS, especially this season and the Cubs defense is hardly excellent (I allow a lot of regression to the mean here - it's a pretty good predictor of future team $h)

ZiPS doesn't directly use GB/FB data - it assumes that pitchers will stick to their general trends. Which generally works - even pitchers that change over the course of their careers generally don't do it suddenly. Besides, I have *zero* data on how GB/FB ages and I haven't seen anything on the subject.

Rusch I just forgot. Skipped right over him looking at the 40-man.

Dallas McPherson is projected to have hit .275/.341/.513? May I have another?

And I absolutely refuse to believe the Percival projection. Of course, he won't be an Angel next season, but still, I reject that projection completely.
   14. Comments Rock Posted: October 20, 2004 at 02:27 AM (#928108)
How did they come up with Dallas' numbers? If he gets enough playinging time he'll break the all time K record, and in way way less PA's. The guy is a K machine, and there is no way I see him hitting anywhere near .275 with that many K's.
   15. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: October 20, 2004 at 08:30 AM (#928175)
Another great year for Javy Lopez...I'm dubious. Palmeiro with a worse SLG than Grudzielanek...Ouch! Marrero hits very well for a catcher -- I wonder how much this projection declines if he catches full time. Will the Angels really play Kotchman full time over Erstad? Glaus and Alou don't look good at all.
   16. DKDC Posted: October 20, 2004 at 09:41 AM (#928225)
Javy still has to convince people?

If you look at his career stats, the biggest fluke is his 2001/2002 seasons (where he stunk), not his amazing 2003 season.

ZIPS has him projected at slightly above his career average. I believe it.
   17. Snowboy Posted: October 21, 2004 at 04:32 AM (#930990)
If it matters, Eric Cyr is a LHP. And his K/BB ratio seems wrong. (Not that I'm recommending him or anything!)

Nice work again, Dan.
   18. Dan Szymborski Posted: October 21, 2004 at 12:03 PM (#931270)
McPherson could very well have a high BA/high K ration - when Dallas hits the ball, he hits the ball.

Cyr's K/BB ratio looks about right to me. I accidentally transposed him in DMB - made him bat lefty throw righty.

The batters are ranked by RC/27.

Next installment will be White Sox, Reds, and Indians. At the end, I'll mush everything into a big excel file for people who want it.

And for those that haven't figured it out, the yearly ZiPS projections can be reprinted in part or whole or used for any non-commercial endeavor.

Also, Borowski and Kim are injured and have suffered decreased velocity as well - not good signs

Kim had his stuff back by the end of the year, fwiw. Why he wasn't included in the postseason is cause for speculation, though. Apparently the genesis of his "injury" was "doing his own thing" over the offseason -- perhaps possible when you're a 21 year-old phenom, but not so much after you turn 25... He overthrew and injured himself in S.T. but really he spent most of the year undoing the "damage" from the offseason.

As for Pedro, his peripheral numbers this year look a lot like his peripheral numbers in '98. He's had a resurgence of "stuff" this season and he's had trouble controling it. I wouldn't be surprised if he put up a couple 180-200 ERA+'s in the next 3 years. The guy has obvious pitchability, and he's back close to full strength. It may come down to a choice between innings and quality with him, though, so he'd have a real premium value to a team with a strong bullpen.

BTW, can we get projections for Jon Papelbon and Jon Lester (High-A BOS pitchers this year)? I think they'll both see at least a dozen or so innings with BOS next year, possibly more if next year is a rebuilding year or if either is traded traded.

I understand that these projections are based on guys playing a full season. Still, it's hard to make any sense of Palmeiro when you are aware that he's going to be playing only against RHPs. If that is accounted for, I think his OPS numbers will be much better than what this is showing.

The pitching stats look very good, BTW. I have a hard time arguing with any of them too hard.
   21. hektisk Posted: December 11, 2004 at 07:57 PM (#1013605)
3.42 ERA for Foulke? He hasn't had an ERA over 2.90 since '98...

Hm.
