    The White Sox are likely better than an 83 win team, but depth matters. To say they're much better than an 85-86 win team is projecting a bunch of growth with very little regression. I think the

    To be fair, Kyle never threatened to become a fan of another team because the White Sox didn't sign a free agent.

    The White Sox beat Pecota projections by the most in baseball between 2005-2012 I believe; it wasn't close. It had nothing to do with PECOTA hating the White Sox. They beat projections solely because

Where's our Liriano?

Those comps aren’t real people 

Man how the mighty have fallen.  Lotta competition for B-Pro these days and PECOTA is just one projection system in a sea of them.  Used to be a real event back in the early aughts.

.759 / 2.3 from Moncada ..... that's no bueno.  

Need superstar status from him.   Like  .850 / 4.8

Too late.

Too late? As in like when he did it 15 months ago?

Is 15 months ago PECOTA?

Are you suggesting it's too late for Moncada to put up an .850 4.8 war season? Because PECOTA says so?

I’m not suggesting anything, just joshing.  

I got Moncada with at least a .900 OPS this season. 

Anderson and Robert at .732? I think I’ll take the over on those.

Ill take a solid OVER on Anderson, Robert, and TA and a healthy healthy under on Nick Madrigal.

I also think anderson is too low. He is a regression candidate but depth charts has him at .774 (from 886), 730 is just too low.

Also I think lynn and giolito are too low, I'm thinking high 3s for lynn and mid 3s or even lower for giolito.

 

Keuchel sounds about right but moncada I'm hoping for like low 800s.

They have Madrigal with a higher OPS than Robert which is pretty hard to believe. However it did happen last year as I pointed out a while ago. But over a long season theres no way that happens. Robert would have to hit like he did when he slumped last year for multiple months. I think there's a good chance he moves forward in a highly positive way this year. It would help tremendously.

Surprising they give Keuchel such a bad FIP . He has had only 2 seasons his whole career with an FIP  worse than 4.41 and one was his rookie year and the other was the short season with Atlanta. They must be highly conservative giving 2 semi older pitchers like Keuchel and Lynn so much regression coming off very good seasons.

If the PECOTA stuff is to be believed those numbers don't exactly look like playoff numbers so Fuck Pecota.

Keuchel had a .28 hr/9 rate. I do believe he can stay under 1 which is great these days but .3 is probably not attainable in a full season.

I would be ok with a low 4s for keuchel, I think 4.4 is a bit high, maybe more like 4.1 or so.

PECOTA record projections are out today. White Sox mean of simulated records is 83-79, good for 3rd in the AL Central. Tampa Bay takes second Wild Card, Toronto and Cleveland also finish ahead of white Sox. There’s a handy little chart of probability of finishes if anyone can excerpt it.

Dodgers projection of 102.9 wins is about the highest PECOTA has ever popped out.

But the White Sox are a big time world series contender and they have the best team in the AL and all the fans upset about not signing FA's are just negative. 

What a disappointing off season this was. Not even above Cleveland. Smh.

I didn't know baseball prospectus was still around.  Good for them.

Projection systems that have the White Sox as the 8th best team in the AL can be disregarded. What a bunch of nonsense.

See. I told you that before Pecota did .

They have the Cubs finishing with a better record than the Sox.

Edited by CaliSoxFanViaSWside

Didn't PECOTA project the Sox to win something like 75 games in 2005?
