Transaction Oracle — A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen Wednesday, February 15, 20122012 ZiPS Projections - San Diego PadresI can understand a team trading Mat Latos for quality prospects. I can understand picking up Carlos Quentin and trading off a surplus 1B/OF prospect for starting pitching depth. What I don't understand is doing the things described in the first two sentences in the same offseason. Part of the reason you acquire a slugger for the short-term and trade for depth is because you have Mat Latos on the team, after all. I had the same puzzlement last year as the Padres traded Adrian Gonzalez (who was scheduled to make peanuts in 2011) and then followed it up by bringing in Orlando Hudson, Jason Bartlett, Aaron Harang, and Brad Hawpe, moves that make sense if you have, well, Adrian Gonzalez in the middle of your lineup.The bullpen is very solid and deep and will continue to be in 2012, even without Mike Adams. The offense is not very good, but it wasn't quite as bad as last year's run rank of 15th suggests - most of the best options missed time, the bench was pretty awful, and of course, the park makes everything look superficially much worse. Conversely, the starters were much weaker than it looks at first glance - thanks to park and continued decline in NL offense, Stauffer's 3.73 ERA and Clayton Richard's 3.88 were actually very ordinary. It's still hard to get acclimated after spending all my adult years in an era of very high offense. No doubt, the Yonder Alonso projection will be very unpopular, but he's really never hit like a top 1B prospect in the minors, at least to the degree where it was consistent with his place in the power rankings. Now, those numbers look far worse than they are thanks to the park, but it's hard to see Alonso as a top-flight 1B without hitting for more power - not just HRs, but doubles, too. A first baseman with disappointing power can be an excellent player, but that's usually a result of BA, walks, and defense. ZiPS still likes Alonso long-term, but thinks that there will be an adjustment period and doesn't see Alonso as a likely star, but on the level that people saw James Loney progressing to after 2008/2009. The Padres are probably the favorite for last place, but they're not really a terrible team in the vein of the Astros, and in a weak division, a little luck should take them above the Dodgers and maybe to .500. They'll need some fortune, though. Next Up: Pittsburgh Pirates, Big Ass Spreadsheet, v0.8

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.2012 Projections Archive A's Rangers Marlins Diamondbacks Indians Nationals Blue Jays Rays Royals Reds Brewers Orioles Rockies Braves Astros Cardinals Dodgers Twins Giants Mariners Angels White Sox Tigers Mets Phillies Cubs Red Sox Yankees

1. Moe Greene Posted: February 15, 2012 at 02:15 PM (#4061661)THANK YOU.
I've been saying this for months - I'm glad to finally find someone else who agrees.
Actually it looks quite reasonable to me.
That's about what I thought he would hit. Before the trade to Petco.
Technically, I would assume Hernandez would be one of the ChiSox projections, except those were done before Q went to the Padres for Hernandez and Castro.
Player request: Drew Cumberland (though that's admittedly more out of curiosity than big league readiness). .365 for Lake Elsinore at age 21 in 2010, missed all of last season. Not a lot of power, not a lot of walks contact guy.
As for Belnome, I like his range a bit more than that, but he is kind of lumpen.
Yep. Just wanted to make sure that he didn't get forgotten.
I think he played in high school against Jeff Francoeur.
The A's need to get on the phone to San Diego and trade for the improbably named "Jedd Gyorko" to be their DH, that's what it means.
I know I always confuse him with Josh Willingham, so that's probably what you're doing as well.
The numbers are the error rating: 100 is average; 50 is half as many errors while 200 is double the amount of errors
The DMB Help Manual contains a chart reflecting historical error rates, by position, in five-year intervals from 1895 to 2000. I'm assuming, without knowing, that Dan uses a chart updated through at least 2010. (I'm also supposing that DMB, when creating recent-season disks, uses numbers more current than the last year, 2000, reflected on the Help Manual chart.)
And Hermida is a former Baseball America Prospects cover boy.
EDIT: Breakdown of the effect of range and error rating, the charts start with post #14.
