James explains projections for players like that, this way: Our policy is that if a young player might play, then we project that he will play. Our theory Our job is to tell you what kind of player the man is. We try to tell you, as best as we are able, how he will play if he plays. Is he a singles hitter who will steal bases and not return them, or is he a power hitter who will strike out times and ask Adam Dunn for his signature after the game?
If we don't print the projection for the young player, then we're cheating you out of what we know; that's the way I see it. If we project that a young player will bat times and he bats times, well, that happens, and you should expect it to happen. But if a rookie bats times and we haven't told you what kind of player he will be, then we haven't done our jobs. In retrospect, it may have been my own ignorance that I was afraid of.
That worked for Warren Spahn, not so well for anybody else. We now understand that to project pitchers accurately, you have to focus on lower performance indicators How the strikeouts, walks and innings will aggregate themselves into wins and losses is kind of a random process, but if you stay focused on the elements, you won't usually miss by too much on the outcomes.
What does this mean for the season starting on time? Jon Lester has announced his retirement Cubs historical sleuthing: Dizzy Dean edition.
