2010 ZiPS Projections, Build 2 for Excel 2003 and Diamond Mind 9
2010 ZiPS Projection Spreadsheet, Second Build
- All players are projected to their current or, in the case of unemployed players, their most recent teams.
- To install, create a new empty database in Diamond Mind 9.0 by selecting File—>Create New Empty Database. Name the new database anything you want it to and then hit File—>Restore and select the ZIP file that you download.
Platoon splits for applicable are not programmed yet and are part of the final build along with depth charts.
The yearly ZiPS Projections are a large undertaking. If you feel that the projections have given you value, Dan hopes you consider making a donation. Donations are what keep the projections released free-of-charge every year and Dan is extremely grateful for all contributions, be they $1 or $1,000,000 (the latter hasn’t happened yet, but he’s still crossing his fingers!). For those that want to “buy” the Diamond Mind disk, when it’s released, Dan’s suggested donation is $15.
Dan would also like to shamelessly self-promote the Insider/ESPN Mag preview, which is currently slated to have a large dose of ZiPS.

1. LB813 Posted: March 13, 2010 at 12:40 AM (#3478301)It would be pretty ugly, too - a .618 OPS in mid-A will end up looking sub-Bocockian.
I'll do him for the Final Build.
Thanks again for all your hard work Dan!
Edit: That seemed pretty easy. Sort of stinks I have to redo the MPs but it still saves time not having to build the rosters. Thanks.

Thanks Dan. Pleasantly surprised w/ the Chirinos projection - if he's capable of that offensively and still has utility chops, he could help someone already.
Since you did Chapman, did you want to add Leslie Anderson for TB? He did sign a big league deal...
I had asked for you to project FDLS due to his previous projection.
Never mind, he's on there! Thanks for everything, Dan!
The exceptions are usually players that go from college to the majors extremely quickly (like Weeks or various relievers) or players from situations that are harder to translate (Cuba), that go right to teams. I can't avoid translating Weeks or Ramirez or Chapman, so I provide the projection with a lot disclaimers. But I can get away with waiting to do a Hagadone projection that I feel will have value - his position in the organization isn't such that he really forces my hand this year.
Even as a donationware product, I always need people to know they can have confidence that what I put out is as solid as I can make it.
As for Parra on DMB, I have absolutely no idea why it's the case! What league ERAs are you getting for the tweaks? I was using them to jerry-rig a 4.45/4.35ish ERA environment - are you getting higher numbers?
The Parra thing is even odder now, he always starts the game on June 18th and it was always Cook because I didn't change the rotation, the last few times he replaced a different guy. When I send him down another position player starts the game instead. Oh well a quirk I will figure out if I need to later.
I am getting ERA numbers a bit higher than that (4.55-4.75) and a bit of a spike in HR's. But I have only run 10 or so seasons. I will keep messing with it and let you know if it levels off.
I'm new to ZIPS this season but am fascinated by this. Thanks for all of your hard work!
Thanks
Bourgeois, Jason
Mastroianni, Darin
Cook, David
Dan, any chance on the final spreadsheet we could get MLBAM ID and maybe TBF and PA for pitchers and hitters respectively? And any idea when you will release the final spreadsheet?
Thanks and appreciate all your work.
Thanks
That's an upcoming feature in ESPN Insider/Magazine.
I'll get the current outstanding requests, but any more and I have to put an end on it unless it's something who's absolutely going to make the MLB roster.
big time fan of your work, really appreciate it. I got your 2009 projection disk last year and it wokred to some extent after i got an earlier build of it so i inputed the lineups and starting rotations myself. It was annoying though when i faced the computer and they didnt use the lineup i had set up for them.
i just got your second build for this year and everything work great, but again im having problems with the computer using the lineups that you correctly established. how can i fix this? Is this something that will happen automatically in your final build? please let me know asap. My father and I are big time fans of DMB and your work
thanks alot
Lou
