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 2009.
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 4.46 ERA and the NL having a 4.41 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 2007-2009. Excellent is the top
quintile, Very Good the 2nd quintile and so on.

1. tell me when i'm telling 57i66135 Posted: October 22, 2009 at 12:16 AM (#3361562)It's not, really. Valaika broke a hand in May and didn't really recover until the end of the year; I expect his bat to show up next year. Zack Cozart (who for some reason doesn't have a projection here) jumped from low-A to AA and held his own. I would think that one or the other will get a shot at the job sometime next year.

I dunno, the Royals' everything?
If the Royals could keep Zach Greinke and their minor leagues, and re-enter as an expansion team, could they assemble a better team from the expansion draft? I say yes.
What if the 12-year-old is Darren Baker?
You sure about those Brandon Phillips comps? Javier was an awful hitter (OPS+ of 83, 90, 58 ages 26-28). I'd never heard of Crtiz but looked him up and he was awful too (90, 58, 55). Bolling wasn't too bad. Phillips has a lot more power than any of them (thought I'm too lazy to look at context).
Not a good sign
It really depends on who plays, I think. I don't see a rotation ace and I don't see much help for Votto unless Bruce takes a step forward.

I'll take the over on Votto. He put up a 152 OPS+ this year and and an OPS over 100 points higher than this projection. Why would ZIPS see him as the same player as 2008?
edit: I see Dan answered my question as I was typing it. Personally, I see Votto having a career similar to Berkman. He's a tremendous hitter.
EDIT: and on Phillips' comps, how about just calling him 80% of Sandberg or something?
I, too, am curious about this.
Can you do a projection on Cozart?
-- MWE
Alonso WILL start 2010, my guess is at AA for about six weeks. He's going to hit in the majors; the main question with this team is where he and Votto will play. There's been some talk about Votto going to left field, and that's probably the best way to go. I like Alonso's defense at 1B; he reacts well going both ways. He reminds me quite a bit of Adrian Gonzalez at the plate, with surprising power to center and left-center.
Frazier was moved off SS, and while he played some 2B this year, he didn't play it especially well, and he wasn't any great shakes in LF last year (although he did have a pile of assists). Again, I think the bat will play in the majors, but I really have no idea where he's going to end up, either.
Francisco isn't a switch-hitter; he bats left all the way. He led the Southern League in errors this year, by a bunch, and there were a LOT of other balls that got by him that he didn't even make the faintest effort to field - when he made a dive for a ball in a game late in the season the Section 210 regulars all sort of looked at each other in shock that he'd actually gotten his uniform dirty. He can be handled with high heat, either up and in or up and away; he just can't lay off those pitches most of the time (although that is one area where he did improve somewhat as the season went on). In 11 years here I don't think I've seen the Mudcats' fan base react so negatively to a guy, and it wasn't just the Section 210 folks, either. Francisco can hit the ball a long way - but he reminds me so much of Jason Stokes as a hitter, even though Stokes batted right and Francisco hits left, that it's not funny. I'm amused that two of his three listed comps are failed Baltimore 3B prospects.

I have a questions regarding:
Chris Dickerson* lf 28 .247 .336 .394 119 388 53 96 17 5 10 39 50 122 17 5 93
How is his OBP so low? So far, in his 421 ML PA, he's posted a .383 OBP with a great BB % and improving K %. Just wondering how the projection has his OBP so much lower than his career, even though his career has been pretty short so far.
Could you check Bruce's numbers again?
James .274/.340/.537, 877 OPS
CHONE .283/.349/.537, 886 OPS
ZiPS .251/.315/.459, 774 OPS
Bruce is interesting, through age 22 Bonds is his top comp on BBRef and Wily Mo is his second. Talk about could go either way, though Reggie Jackson is #4.
#1 in the NL in runs scored (by 30 runs as of 8/30)! Though, no one would have guessed that at the beginning of the season.
