Ray - Many middle relievers who accumulated more than 10 holds last year are not included in the pitcher pool since they are free agents and looking for a home. Some will find homes and others won't - my guess is once they sign you will include in the population. There are about 30 of them in total that i will not name but can help with if you are interested. But here are the following:

Dillon Peters probably won't win 19 games
Need projections for Miles Mikolas
Need a better projection for Shohei Ohtani
Need a projection for Pat Neshek since he signed with the Phillies
Need a projection for Luis Avilan
Need a projection for Aaron Loup
Need a projection for Dan Jennings
Need a projection for Alex Wilson
Need a projection for Dan Winkler
Need a projection for Marc Rzepcynski
Need a projection for Shawn Kelley

I am sure there are others and still assuming guys like Matt Albers or Zach Duke or others onced they sign they will be included. We play in a league that counts holds so these middle guys are very important.

[RAY@HQ]

Yes to all of that. I don’t need you to list them, I have a report that lists them out for me. Will be pecking away at those relievers over the next couple of weeks.

[RAY@HQ]

Ok, Ohtani and Dillon Peters are cleaned up. I fixed a bunch of QS projections (down through all SP with 140 IP or more), converted Mike Minor to an SP.

Cleaning up the relievers and low-PT guys will be an ongoing effort. But as far as an initial data set, I'm declaring victory here. Keep noting any questions/issues as you see them.

Wade Davis has zero saves projected. BBHQ waiting for the free agent to sign first?

[RAY@HQ]

Yeah, that'll fix when he signs.

[Major Ted]

Wade Davis 0 saves listed team Colorado. Greg Holland 32 saves listed as a free agent. Please update.

Done! Full update coming later this week.

Juan Minaya

Done! Full update coming later this week.

I bought the Forecaster in print edition. It’s missing Juan Minaya. Granted he’s no stud but he is the current projected closer for the White Sox.

Correct, we did not include Minaya in the book. I'll get his projection uploaded to the site this week.

Correct, we did not include Minaya in the book. I'll get his projection uploaded to the site this week.

As someone who bought the book, am I able to see the projections on the site? If so, how?

Only if you have an HQ subscription. If not, you will get his projection in the March 1 update.

Ray, any estimate on when the full site update will be posted? Thanks.

Working on an update this weekend....
