How dare they compare Trout to Mantle. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trout is much better.

[Angel Oracle]

Seriously, they predict 2 for Nava/Gentry?

That high?

I suspect most of that is defense AO.

[Hollyw00d]

Most of those projections are extremely optimistic

[Homebrewer]

The owner of six major-league plate appearances — and even then, from back in 2012 — outfielder Rafael Ortega (437 PA, 1.5 zWAR) was signed by Los Angeles this offseason to a minor-league deal. Despite the modest cost of employing him, Ortega actually receives the third-best projection among Angels outfielders.

 

sigh...

They use the same formula for every team...    They must all be extremely optimistic.

That either validates or indicts the front office depending on your POV.    Where have you gone Garret Anderson, our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you...  hey.... hey...  hey.....

Yes, like I said

Well if you look at the exact projections on the diamond every single one of them was rounded up, except Trout and Cron.

Well, both Gentry and Nava received very poor projections, 0.4 and 0.9 respectively, and in over 700 combined plate appearances. Somehow that rounds up to 2 on the chart. They are getting some additional benefit from the fact that it is actually two players for one position, so their time coming off the bench is added in here, as opposed to being listed under 'bench.'

Quit with the Trout is round jokes.

I'm waiting for Matt Joyce to sign with another team and have a comeback type year.
