Stolen Signs Podcast
Looking back at PECOTA
by Kendall Guillemette and Harry Pavlidis
We start by talking about projection systems in general, then dive into 2017
PECOTA team projections. We look to see how adding in actual playing time
affects the team totals. Then we talk about individual players that
out-performed and under-performed their PECOTA projections.
This Week I Learned:
Harry learns that "bullpenning" is a thing, sort of, maybe, kind of. (h/t Matt
Trueblood)
Kendall learns to make adjustments in parenting, just like hitters like Mike
Trout have had to make adjustments to high fastballs. (h/t to Jeff Sullivan)
