ZiPS projections

Ours published today - some of the more notable #1 player comps at first glance:

Santander = Jermaine Dye - this seemed promising.

The pitcher ones were...horrifying.

Gausman = Sidney Ponson

Britton = Steve Kline

I guess Tanner Scott getting Nolan Ryan cushions that some.

I just want to point out that Mike Yastrzemski projects to hit better than Rickard.

So do DJ Stewart, Cedric Mullins and Ademar Rifaela.

I know, but I expected DJ Stewart and Mullins to be.  I was just pointing out Yastrzemski because he’s a non prospect at this point.

My overall reaction is that these offensive projections look pretty favorable.   I especially like Hays at .281/.310/.468 with 24 HR and 88 RBI.     I’d gladly take that in his rookie year!

Szymborski's hosting the Fangraphs Winter Meetings chat right now - he expounded a little.

Jermaine Dye was a nice #1 comp for Santander - what are your hopes for him?

Dye would be a really positive result.  Probably less than that.

 

 

Somehow, the Orioles have figured out how to develop Mark Trumbos and nothing else.

Like they found a recipe for steamed limes.
