When do you expect the hold projections to be up to date? A couple teams don't show any holds currently, and the Astros only have Joe Smith getting holds. Thanks.

I should have mentioned that the teams I noticed were the Angels and Dodgers. -
We’ll get right on that.Comment

Just curious, but is there even a standardized definition of what constitutes a "hold?"John

There are many teams that do not add up to 100% on holds. Will they by the end of spring training as roles become more defined? Thank you.Comment

Yes, certainly by the end of spring, probably much sooner.Comment

Hardball Times ran an article recently on the topic. Entertaining but long, so your mileage may vary but I enjoyed the article: https://www.fangraphs.com/tht/the-un...d-blown-saves/Originally posted by Astros34 View Post
The short answer is that although MLB doesn't define a "hold," we have reached an informal consensus on the definition, but it wasn't always that way."America is an effort. We are a nation born of risk and adversity--of fearful seas to cross just to get here in the first place, of land to clear, floods, epidemic disease, of slave chains and city slums and terrible winters on the high plains." -- David McCulloughComment
