Is this based on last season"s stats?

I have been looking at it for about 30 seconds before I posted the info. It says updated daily so it has to be using this year's data in some way.

BTW DC corrected me on twitter, the O's charts don't look as bad as I thought at first. For instance the Machado -.4 Bat is compared to league average not replacement level.

Edit- These forecasts remind me of the RS/RA power rankings ESPN tried last year.

Fun to look at tho.

Current year's production doesn't get a ton of weight because the sample size is small.

Since the O's were projected by the computer systems to have about 73 wins before the season started, a 62-66 record over the rest of it is actually a significant improvement.

Not to mention that these projections have the O's tied with the A's for the 2nd wild card.

5 weeks into the season doesn't seem to have phased the predictors one bit. :rolleyes:

There's a difference between not overreacting to one month's worth of sample size and ignoring it completely. For instance, they have JJ at only 0.6 WAR to finish the season when he already has 0.5 WAR now and finished 2012 and 2011 with 1.2 and 1.4 WAR respectively.

Head scratching...

The model they use loves strikeouts.

One fun thing to do with the projected standing is to see when the click over to a different projected record.

When this thread was created three days ago, the O's had a projected record of 83-79. Neither the win on Fri nor the loss on Sat changed that - we might say that the O's got an "expected" result in both games. But with the win on Sun, their projected record is now 84-78 - we could say that the O's won a game that they weren't predicted too.

Of course, making this claim requires that there's significant change from day to day, and that we haven't just hit a rounding point that will make things toggle between 83/84 for a while.

      Can they option someone these last 6 games and still put them on the post season roster?

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      I don't know the answer for sure, but there is a down side to doing this even if there's no 14+ day wait. Optioning a player to the minor leagues causes his salary to be significantly decreased and pro rated for each day that he is in the minor leagues. For that reason, you wouldn't want to do that to a player like Grayson Rodriguez who has been everything you hoped for since he worked his way back up to MLB into the rotation, and we will be relying on him in the playoffs. Player & team morale is important to consider. If it were a different (bullpen) player who was less significant, then that I could see that as a possibility. They could also have Flaherty and/or Irvin start one/two of the games to rest starter's arms in the last week if they set it up right.

      You act like Elias/Hyde/Holt don't know Means when they have known him for 5 years.   They know his character.  They  have seen him at his best.  They have worked with him through his recovery.   And it looks like they will see him through this next week and in the playoffs.   They have a strong basis to make a judgement of an extension this off season.  Whether to do it and how long they are willing to go.  Whether it's all guaranteed money or with some options and bonuses for starts. Means says he wants to win a WS and he will probably not get a better chance to do that than being with the O's.   I don't see him wanting to go FA and I don't think the  O's want him too.  With that said a one year contract does not make much sense.   Two years cuts Means value short.   It probably has to be at least three years.   Maybe with option(s)  for more years.

      I haven't heard anything recently, but I did notice Bruce Zimmermann is already listed as the Game 1 probable pitcher. https://www.milb.com/gameday/bulls-vs-tides/2023/09/26/738546/preview

      Orioles have 4 International Players in the FCL top 20

      By Frobby · Posted

      Now that is impressive, because it’s not just Orioles writers and fans dreaming on a guy, it’s an objective third party source.  That’s by far the best showing we’ve had for international prospects at the FCL prospects, even if nobody is a Basallo-level prospect.    The article also mevtons that the O’s had 7 international prospects drafted in the Dominican Winter League, tied for the most of any team.

      Warning track flyouts, that should say. (My phone had other thoughts for what I typed)
