“There are too many maybes to rule them out, and too many maybes to predict them.    They’re in that dreaded in-between zone that ‘the process’ is supposed to avoid.”

Also, PECOTA still has us at 71 wins, despite our recent acquisitions, though the two authors of this article think we’re better than that.

Still have Jones, Britton and Machado under contract, have to go for it.

Part of why I'm not sold on their projections is that they have Manny projected for 3.1 WARP (somehow their flavor has him at 1.3 for 2017).

That's what's going to happen. It's going to be an interesting season.
