It's that time of the year again. The time when I pull out my WAR projections (that will be initially rolled out in a Beta version) for all five NL West teams. These are rough estimates, but I feel they are pretty accurate for the most part. The WAR projections are a combination of Fangraphs and my estimates. Some teams still will be signing free agents and or making trades, so there will likely be more than a few adjustments. Feel free to point out any roster errors, any values you feel are way off, or anything else that stands out.

Isn't Ian Kennedy pretty much pencilled into one of Arizona's rotation slots already? Does using him instead of one of those bottom two help them any?
ReplyDeleteAlatheia, fixed now. I have it netting them a fraction of a win. I already had Kennedy in as a spot starter, so I upped his number of starts a little and moved into the 4th slot.

Ishikawa higher than Loney?
ReplyDeleteKoffler, very slight edge to Loney with the bat, but a rather significant edge to Ishikawa with the glove according to UZR. I think the difference in WAR by 0.2 is reasonable. Loney hasn't been very good the past two seasons. Would be nice if Loney and Martin could regain their younger form this year. The Dodgers could sure use improvement from the two.

Well, at least I can hope my Padres don't lead the division in Misc. Suckitude. :-)
