A.L. Central Discussion 2016

Actually, I'd say player projections are what they're good at, as opposed to team, or divisional projections. They're at the top of their industry, for sure.

But you're right. Instead of considering what the flagship projection system has to say about players, we should all just understand that if a player has a D on his cap, he'll be the shit, and a player with any other letter on his cap will suck.

what is good? getting 25% of their projections correct?

lol..... I don't care.. I will take any bet you want to make regarding the Indians scoring 714 runs this year. If you want to do anything with it I will take it. $100, $1k, avatar (for queers), any bet you want to make.. The Indians are not going to score that many runs and I will bet anything on that.

That's funny. A money bet with you. Even if I didn't know that you've welched on a bet with Bums, there's no way in hell that I'd give an insecure and clearly unstable guy like you any way to contact me beyond this site.

That's funny as hell.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

one of them project anything at any reasonably accurate rate.

False.

False.

please.. show me how their projections are accurate. Pick a team.. any team you want and post the 2015 projections.. then post their actual stats.. I guarantee they aren't close on more than half.. heck.. probably not even 70%.

 

[MiamiVice]

projections are retarded. there are to many variable to accurately project a players stats from year to year. its a pointless exercise that literally is only done because people will
A) pay for subscriptions to sites for sports info B) it drives clicks which makes ad money.

 

[broncosmitty]

I wouldn't say that. In fact. I would say they are pretty much on par with each other.

Hmmmm, this does not surprise me.

Ok. Well. Then, I suppose there's no point in discussing 2016 until it's happened.

 

[broncosmitty]

You could argue any player in the Tigers lineup could hit for .300 except for McCann. The Indians might not have 1.

Gose?

Nick?

Maybin?

Salty?(or any guy off the bench really.)

You could argue every Tiger will have a career year too. Doesn't mean it's a good argument.

No. Its entertaining to talk about.. but using a projection from a website as validation for what might happen is about as useful as asking da55bums how to run a pizza parlor.

Vice says: "Cleveland lineup is a pile of shit." So....he picks them for first.

Castellanos easily could hit for .300. Gose and Maybin play the same position... one is going to be a bench guy.. I will give you both if you like... but my focus was on the lineup. The Indians clearly are not as good of an offensive team. Its not really that hard to see.

Because their pitching is BY FAR the best in the division.

 

[Iffster]

I bet I get called a dick or a faggot....or something similar. After all, most 35 year old men on the internet use that kind of language all the time. Oh, wait....isn't that most 15 year olds use that kind of language?

 

[MiamiVice]

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Castellanos hit .300+. Just about every scout that saw him in the minors said he was a future .300 hitter.. and nothing really has changed. I will guarantee Castellanos will out hit what ever turd the Indians decide to put at 3rd.

never called you a dick once... i have made fun of the fact you have a dick that hasn't gotten hard in a decade... because you are old.

 

[MiamiVice]

but being serious for a second iffy... when was the last time you were able to get a boner without the help of a blue pill?

 

[Iffster]

Vice does talk about men's dicks a lot here. I really don't want to go into that. The guy has enough problems with social interaction as it is.

 

[Iffster]

How many posts do you think Vice will post about men's dicks? I wonder how many posts he made today that included a reference to somebody's dick? It would be too hard to count....since he has been posting here, continuously since around 7:00AM.

good. maybe there is a nice thread somewhere on this site that goes over bingo or bridge... aren't those the big games being played at your senior living center?
