Projections are based on zone rating over the last four seasons for non-catchers, weighted, regressed and aged. For catchers, projections are based on the stats listed for the last five seasons, again weighted, regressed and aged. Don’t read too much into the numbers for players with small sample sizes at their listed positions.
In other Hot Stove stuff:
Agent: Peavy won’t be pitching for Mets, Yankees.
I like Peavy, but I think his numbers get a fair boost from Petco and the NL. Put him in the AL and with the Yankee defense behind him and he’s probably a non-zero amount worse, although still pretty good.
NY Post: YANKS WANT TO OFFER BOWA SECOND THIRD CHANCE.
I can’t see the Dodgers letting him go, but it’d be nice…
