Is there some way to download a full set of in-season ZIPS projections, rather than having to get the data player by player?

Yes, that would be very cool.

I might be missing it, but is it possible to get the leaderboards for the ROS projections of ZIPS?

I certainly understand that you can’t do things manually overall. But if there was some way to incorporate known DL time or suspensions to the data that would make this even better.

So, part would stay automated: “weighted prior three years and comparables with however else ZiPS is calculated with this season results to fin true talent level from now until the end of the season”

But the manual part would be putting in a list of DL/Suspended information to fix the Manny problem. Note: this wouldn’t be anticipated DL/Suspended, since that is impossible. It would be actual DL/Suspended, based on data from mlb.com.

Probably still too much manual work, but that would be incredible.

Get your nose out of the spreadsheet, Appelman.

Heh, well, no one is calculating anything on FanGraphs by hand. I’d never get anything done and would probably still be working on the 2005 stats.

Obviously these are computer-generated numbers as Manny’s going to have a hard time hitting 400 ABs in his remaining 85 games (4.5 AB per game vs his 3.4 up til now), unless they are moving him to leadoff.
