    The first telecast will be February 29th

    If Farrell doesn't bring this team in with at least a .500 record, I will protest outside of Fenway Park every day with a bullhorn demanding that Farrell be discharged.

    Hanley is reportedly down to 234 lbs. How heavy was he last year if he has lost a significant amount of weight?
  4. a700hitter
    But what about the projections with a margin of error of plus or minus 6 games?
  5. a700hitter
    Other than the Yankee fan posters?

    Barnes' performance was underwhelming in 2015 -- very disappointing.

    They are purely entertainment, for shits and giggles.

    I'd give him a rake and let him help the grounds crew. He missed his window. Plus, he is not good.
  9. a700hitter
    A much needed lefty arm for the Mets bullpen.
  10. a700hitter
    Upton, Miggy, Kinsler, VMart and JD Martinez. Not a bad batting order.

    In 2013, Victorino played RF and he was the better OFer than Ellsbury. Victorino didn't have a Dewey quality arm, but he does have a strong arm.

    Shaun Marcum announced his retirement. Arm problems derailed what looked to be a very promising career.

    Why do they look at them? Shits and giggles, curiosity, because they are there, or just for purposes of conversation. A lot of them probably also do the crossword puzzle.

    The better arm should be in RF in Fenway. Bradley's arm is a weapon in RF. Betts arm in RF is just barely adequate.

    If he returns to his career norms of putting up 200 innings and a 4.25 ERA, he will not have to make excuses.
  16. a700hitter
    Let us know if you spot him at the buffet.

    I have no doubt that FOs look at FanGraph's projections. I also have no doubt that they have no need for them and that the FG projections for standings do not influence their player moves.

    I acknowledged the entertainment aspect of the projections. Other than that, I see no use in them. That doesn't take the fun out of it. It recognizes that they are purely fun and not serious.

    Lots of excuses have been produced for Porcello's horrible 2015 (and it was horrible). In 2016, he needs to put up because he will be out of excuses.
  20. a700hitter
    Let's just hope that Sandoval's 2 adays doesn't refer to naps. Lol!
  21. a700hitter
    The FanGraphs projections like all other projections are useless except for entertainment value. Knowledgeable GMs could come up with the same projections by just perusing team rosters. The computer models that come up with this stuff is a waste of technology.
  22. a700hitter
    I will be happy if Porcello logs 200 innings and a 4.25 ERA in line with being the #4 that he has always been. If he can do that, his contract will be an overpay, but not the disaster of Panda's contract.
  23. a700hitter
    Except for "someone's 2 year old niece."
  24. a700hitter
    I didn't realize that you were talking about professional analysts who do their own projections. Of course, they would look. They are in the same business creating useless projections. They are not everyone. I doubt GMs are guided by these projections even if they look at them.
  25. a700hitter
    They are probably much better at it than FanGraphs.
