SI.com – Behind The Numbers
Just thought some of you might be interested in an article I did for SI.com about the four different projection systems available on FanGraphs.
It looks at which players the systems are in agreement with and which one’s they’re at odds on using OPS and ERA.
“Everyone expects [Ryan Howard] to be very good, but there’s certainly some question about how great he’ll actually be. At least CHONE and ZiPS seem to think Carlos Delgado is in for a rather steep decline next year, while the other two think he’ll keep chugging along at his .900+ OPS.”
Anyway, take a look if you get a chance; I thought some of the differences and similarities were quite interesting. You can find the article here.

Great article, glad to see this site getting more publicity (publicity is richly deserves).
