I can guarantee they'll be at 100% by Opening Day. Some may be sooner, as you're seeing. Some may take longer until the situation resolves. Ask the Padres who they're going to keep at catcher, that might speed things along.

Ray - Most of your teams/positions are allocated somewhat close to 100%. Oh sure some are off by 10-20% but under the catchers for San Diego you still have them allocated for 175% which seems way too high at this point. You have Alfaro at 50%; Nola at 60%; Campusano at 30%; Caratini at 30% and Rivas at 5%. When do you think you might have them closer to the intended 100% for catchers on the team? Thank you

Maybe that should be changed? It doesn't seem logical.

In an ideal world, sure. But I'm not about to re-architect an entire system to deal with a fairly obscure use case.

Anyway, I just put him back on LA, which basically solves the problem (as of tomorrow AM).

No, wins aren't projected as part of team totals. Just saves and holds.

So the site will let you project every other category for free agents except saves? Aren't Wins also calculated as a percentage of the team total ? He is projected for 4 wins.

You can manually override him in Rotolab. I can't get Saves on him here on our site unless I put him on an MLB team.

When he signs. Think I answered this somewhere else. But since we allocate Sv as a % of a team total, since he's not on a team, he gets a % of 0 saves. That will resolve once he gets dropped onto a team.

Considering that these projections go into Rotolab and we use them to draft wouldn't it be better to project saves for him knowing he'll likely be a closer?

[RAY@HQ]

When do you plan to give poor Kenley Jansen some saves?

Maybe I'll post periodic updates here... thanks to the relatively light day yesterday, we were able to get level on all player movement today. I just posted revised projections that are all caught up, except for the latest flurry of moves this AM.

Yeah, I mostly wanted to point out that the analysts weren't necessarily saying, e.g., "well, we know that someone has to play 1B, I guess I'll ramp up Arcia and Tromp because I don't have any better ideas." Overprojecting is typical at this point; underprojecting is atypical, but totally understandable in 2022.

[PHIL@HQ]

Also, I notice that some positions aren't fully projected yet. There are only 25% ABs allotted for ATL 1B, 40% for OAK 2B, etc. It's completely understandable at this point; that's just a warning as a public service. We are all in this boat together.

And, Atlanta is now projected for 100% at first base.

[RAY@HQ]

Yeah, we're changing a ton on the fly here, thanks for bearing with us. Trying to use logic as we can, ie if Freeman doesn't return to ATL, it stands to reason that his replacement isn't there yet either.
