why werent these included dag nabbit I assumed that those were a joke from the reaction of the other posters, and I just used you second set of projections. Do you wanna have your first ones included too? And I was hoping that someone here could do me a favor. For the article I'm writing I'm comparing the Crew to the Cubs, and I'm not exactly sure of who fills out the remaining spots on the Cubs 25 man roster. Could some post it, including who the most likely 5th starter will be? Thanks. ....and keep those projections coming!

Heres a spreadsheet with all the projections averaged out so far. http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pyk99ZuXWKqdQVRM4fba4Iw&hl=en And for those who haven't posted projections yet: It only takes 5 or 10 minutes to make your projections, and to make the final numbers be representative of Cubs fans there's got to be some more posted. and thanks again to those who already have participated and those that will.

Yep. Using OBP and SLG and projected playing time, it's pretty easy to convert to runs.

In a day or two I'll put up a google spreadsheet with all the projections. But right now we're only sitting at 13 of 'em, and for these to mean anything there's gonna need to be more than that. So more projections are defintely welcome.

Hey guys. I'll go ahead and say it right away. I'm a Brewers fan, and I post over at brewerfan.net. I was hoping I could get you guys to participate in a projection project I'm doing. My idea was to see if fans of a team could predict player's future performance as well as, or better than a complicated system like PECOTA, Zips, Marcels, and so on. It's pretty simple. You post how you feel your Cubs players will do in the upcoming 08 season. Anything is in play to form your projection, other projection systems, any past statistics, and most importantly, your own subjective opinions on how you think they'll perform. You think Soto was lucky becuase of his high BABIP? Maybe you feel Fukodome will be the next Ichiro, or just another Kaz? You think Pie will breakout? Project it. The stats to predict are these. Hitting: AVG/OBP/SLG Pitching: WHIP/ERA The players to project as of now would be: Lee DeRosa Theriot Ramirez Soriano Pie Fukodome Soto Zambrano Lilly Hill Marquis Dempster Lieber Marmol Howry Wood At bf.net we projected the same number of players, with 6 starters and 3 relievers. If you guys feel any of those players, notably the starters (Lieber?) and relievers (are there other relievers that are more important than Howry and Wood) should not be projected and others should, feel free to tell me. I'll be putting these numbers into a Google Doc for anyone to see, and then I'll average them and that will be the official nsbb.com projection. At the end of the year, (yes I know, a looong way off) I'll run a correlation study between our projections, the other systems, and actual performance to see how the fans did in their forecasting. I also might be writing an article comparing the projections of the bf.net and nsbb.com to see how the fans feel the teams stack up. This is just something fun and interesting to do during the offseason, and I'm looking forward to the season and battling out the division with the Cubs. It should be fun. Thanks alot to anyone who participates.
