MINER Projections

by
March 8, 2008

Jeff Sackmann of MinorLeagueSplits.com fame created his own set of projections for use in John Burnson’s Graphical Player 2008. He was kind enough to offer them for use on FanGraphs and now they’re available in the player pages and in their own sortable stats page.

His MINER projections are based off of the Marcel projections, but take into account batted ball data and minor league stats, including minor league batted ball data.

Still working on getting a link for a downloadable spreadsheet of the projections, but that should soon be available for those of you who want to play with them.

peavy hasnt had under 200 k’s since 2004, all the sudden out of the blue he’s gonna have under 200 after 3 straight years of 210+ k’s? sure thats logical specially for someone who’s not even at the age where numbers start to decrease yet.

also why not update bill james projections rather than allow another variation of a current guy’s projection in? we have marcels we dont need both marcel’s and the marcel’s clone who’s not intelligent enough to make his own projections and would rather just make a variation of someone’s current formula.

hey i got an idea invite someone from yahoo who’s never played in a pay league before to make the next projections? he might have a variation of yahoo’s big board.
