2012 ZiPS Projections - Texas Rangers
What's there to say about the Rangers, really? It's a deep team with a very good farm system that'll be there at the end of the season. The team's still a bit underrated defensively - I'm not sure how much the general public really comprehends just how good the non-Beltre defenders generally are. Even Mike Napoli, considered a serviceable backstop at best, made great strides defensively last season. ZiPS saw the Angels pulling even with the Rangers this season, but the Rangers landed Darvish. I had argued that the Rangers should have made a play at Fielder (before the Darvish bidding), but given the massive deal Boras squeezed out of the Tigers, the Rangers appeared to have made the safer bet.
I know Barden and German are in Japan - if you tl;dr the article and email or tweet me to inform me of this fact, I will send demons to devour your eternal soul. Not quite sure how, but I think Ron Popeil makes such a product.
Next Up: Oakland A's, San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates

All figures in % based on projection playing time
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 2012.
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.
Players are listed with their most recent 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 4.19 ERA and the NL having a 3.96 ERA.
Players that are expected to be out due to injury are still projected. More information
is always better than less information and a computer isn't what should be projecting
the injury status of, for example, a pitcher with Tommy John surgery.
Positional offense is ranked by RC/27 and divided into quintiles based on what the
most frequent starting players at each position did in 2008-2011. Excellent is the top
quintile, Very Good the 2nd quintile and so on.

1. Der_K Posted: February 08, 2012 at 12:54 PM (#4056419)Um, nice rotation - their 6th starter (if we take these projections at face value) has a 109 ERA+. Decent pen too...
Mike Francesca thinks this is a prank post.
Good numbers for Yu. Not so much for Leonys Martin.
If Napoli has that kind of year, what kind of contract do you think he'll get? I can't remember the last big contract a catcher got, especially one that defensively-challenged. Piazza, I suppose.
Dan, since you've done reliever->starter projections for Feliz and Ogando, would you be able to run them for the Red Sox conversion candidates - Bard and Aceves? Thanks.
Thanks for doing that, by the way. I'm always curious about how those kinds of guys project, even if they aren't going to be in the US next year.
Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter? Of course I know about him! Who can forget his seminal dissent in the case of United States vs. Pull The Other One, It's Got Bells On It.
I was going to ask for Bard too.
Their seventh and eighth starters are essentially league average.
I agree. I think Holland in particular has a good shot to consolidate his gains from last year and become a top of the rotation guy. Thrilled to see such depth in the rotation, last year was awesome, but getting that kind of health and performance out of 5 starters is an anomaly.
Not quite as sold on Murphy... he's not terrible or anything, but I see him as an opportunity for improvement. Still, this is a really nice looking team. No black holes of suck, and plenty of guys who are fun to watch/easy to root for.
Yeah, but you should see the number of games they're going to lose.
0.9 should be released sometime late next week - just have SD, PIT and cleanup/updates to do.
