The WAR Room

As part of Beyond the Box Score's Community WAR Project 2009, Amazin' Avenue will being projecting the Mets 2009. I've already filled in most of the Mets' section of Sky's spreadsheet, using CHONE, some Oliver, and a dash of Marcels projections. This thread is a place to discuss and refine these entries, specifically focusing on PA/IP totals and fielding. That said, anything is up for discussion. As you can see, the spreadsheet has the Mets at 94 wins so far (woohoo!), pretty close to the PECOTA figure of 93.

Also, as we get closer to the season, I'll be making a separate spreadsheet (probably on Google Docs) featuring the community projections. Once those are finished we'll compare notes with Sky's sheet and some other major projection systems. If you have any requests for the upcoming player previews you can post them here too.

It's pretty cool

That a combination of free projections, Sky’s Mad Libs spreadsheets and a little know how, can lead to close to the same conclusion as PECOTA. The movement has come a long way.

Well done samt.
