Initial 2018 projections - issues and comments thread

[Timmeh49]

One I noticed...

No historical information on the history tab... The tab only shows 2018 YTD and 2018 YTD+projection.

[RAY@HQ]

Yeah, history should be back by morning.

[MikeK@HQ]

May see some odd things tonight as we rebuild our stats history one more time

[RAY@HQ]

Reopening thread.

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.

[Major Ted]

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.

[RAY@HQ]

Done! Full update coming later this week.

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.

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

[RAY@HQ]

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

[rosborne]

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

[RAY@HQ]

Working on an update this weekend....

[RAY@HQ]

OK, I've posted a complete update to the batter projections. Added missing projections for a bunch of low-PT guys, got caught up on all player movement (including Solarte deal yesterday), and cleaned up some player-specific issues that had been flagged by writers/readers.

On the batters, these are the only remaining issues I'm aware of:

- DLDays still not populated (will also remain an issue with pitchers). This should be fixed by next weekend.
- ADPs are still from last year (will also remain an issue with pitchers). This should be fixed by next weekend.
- still don't have a batter projection for Ohtani.
- other batter projections missing: Kyle Lewis and Braxton Davidson. I'll add them in next update.

Pitchers coming soon... hopefully tonight.

[RAY@HQ]

Pitcher update is posted as well. Same notes as above still apply. One difference: for pitchers, there are still ~30 pitchers with projected playing time but no projection. But they're all projected for minimal playing time.... under 20 IP in all cases. I'll be chipping away at them in future updates... some will just get the PT% removed, others will get projections added as their projected PT% grows as roles clear up, spring performances get evaluated, etc.

Anyway, should be fully ready to roll here. Any remaining issues, note them here and I'll look.

Be nice if you could simply predict the future for these trades and FA signs. But, I guess this will work.
Thanks sir.
