He who has no name is projected for 4 less homers than Wright???

Yea whatever about these projections. Especially the projections on Wright/Davis/Murphy. What is that based off of? All of them apparently will get injured and miss a lot of games next year and with the ball park getting smaller their HR rates per AB are going lower?? (especially as all 3 are in their primes). Yea I will choose not to put a lot of faith in those offensive stats.

ZiPS is a conservative projection system

I think it’s better that way. Projecting a guy to play 162 games doesn’t make any sense.

Yeah

Ike Davis: 0% chance to hit 30 HRs next year

Why do you say that?

Huh?

Unless he’s hurt again I don’t see anyway he doesn’t hit thirty homers.

If you scroll down

they give you the probability of certain things (.300+ BA, 45+ 2B). They have Ike as having a 0% chance to hit 30+ bombs.

I doubt he will, but 0% is ridiculous. I wonder how the math works out on that.

Seems pretty early to be making projections.

Hmm

Bearish on Ike, bullish on Johan, and Bay and Duda look like replacement level OFs. Gonna be a long year.

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
