    For individual players for Fantasy teams yes, but I don't know too many people digging into team projections. Not everyone looks at team projections.

    Agreed. He wasn't clearly commanding games in the second half. He had some good games, but he struggled in a lot of other games.

    I think Porcello will be lucky to return to his career norms in 2016. He's just not a top of the rotation pitcher. He is a 4 or 5. The pitch selection argument is bogus imo. His fastball velocity was up, and it was getting hit hard, because he wasn't commanding the pitch. That is execution. Just because his FB velocity was up from prior seasons doesn't mean that he didn't have an injury. Many feel that loss of command is the first sign of an injury, and he was DL'd during the season. It could also be that he couldn't harness the command of his increased velocity. If he vastly improves in 2016, it will be because he learns to harness command of his higher velocity, not because of the mix of his pitches. He left too many fastballs dead red for hitters.

    I agree with you on this. His problem was pitch selection. It was pitch execution, i.e command, which some believe to be the first sign of arm trouble. He did go on the DL. Maybe it was a phantom DL, maybe not. Ony heand the doctors know. He left a lot of balls over the fat part of the plate. That isn't pitch selection. It is execution.

    Who are these projections useful to other than possibly odds makers?
  6. a700hitter
    I think this is a point that many people miss. He has a lot of innings under his belt.

    Hanley, Human Doughnut and Porcello was over $250 million of bad contracts. Ben fanned and went 0h fer three on these guys.

    I will be down in Fort Myers on March 4th. Hopefully, I will not have the same concerns that I had last March after watching his act in LF.

    I really am perplexed that DD is willing to start his tenure in Boston with a defensive experiment with Hanley, especially after spending a boatload on Price and getting Kimbrell. You can screw up a lot of games at first base. Also, I am very disappointed that DD has not added another quality starting pitcher. I still think our pitching is thin and mediocre. Thankfully, the rest of the ALE is flawed.

    $18 million per year is a reasonable price imo
  11. a700hitter
    The guy is a human doughnut. He never should have been signed without a weight clause.
  12. a700hitter
    Sure. Old school = uninformed in sabremetrics speak.

    Are their results easily searched?

    They will track you down and your lifeless body will be found with a copy of Bill James Abstract to send a message to other heretics.

    They should make him pay for his own room.
  17. a700hitter
    Metrics weren't needed to see his bobbles and errors on some very easy balls.

    When I watched him pitch, his curve ball was reminiscent of Bruce Hurst's.
  21. a700hitter
    Sunglasses and a Lincoln Hat?
  22. a700hitter
    lol!
  23. a700hitter
    lol!

    It is alarming the first time you see your reflection in a mirror or window and think "what is my father doing here?"
  25. a700hitter
    Abe Lincoln's hat was a myth.
