With the ZiPS projections coming out for the Rangers last week, we are doing a series of polls asking folks to pick whether they think various players will go over or under the OPS that ZiPS projects.
ZiPS projects Michael Young to have an OPS of 767 in 2012.
Do you think it will be over or under that figure? Cast your vote...

I'll take the over.
But I think .767 is right about spot-on.

I'm noticing a trend in the voting.

To be fair
It’s hard to develop anything when you are never healthy.

2007-2009: 60% + 4 seamers

it would help if I knew where to get pitchf/x shit from minor league parks

Over, barely.
Something around .775

Over, but not my much
Something closer to 2010.

I love the picture
"A lot of people may not know this, but I happen to be quite famous." - Sam "MayDay" Malone
It was terrible for the Rangers
But it’s still a funny picture to see how amazingly inept a major league ballplayer can look while doing something so routine.
"A lot of people may not know this, but I happen to be quite famous." - Sam "MayDay" Malone
stop that
There’s nothing funny about game 6, unless you do not root for the Rangers
That’ll go down as one of the toughest losses in a World Series game … ever. And in all honesty, it’s a scarlet L this organization will have to wear till it breaks through and wins a WS. I find it impossible to believe any fan of the Rangers could laugh at it, despite your feelings about MY or watching generic baseball events gone wrong.
it’s not a blooper. It’s a window into a painful loss.

It's sports, man.
It’ll be ok.

Adrian Beltre helplessly flailing away at pitches and striking out with men on base
in Game 7 was probably a real knee-slapper as well to you.
Helluva fan.

Mr. Wales
I go out of my way not to respond directly to your posts. Please extend me the same courtesy. Thanks.

Did you also convulse in laughter when Nelson Cruz took that goofy route to
the ball in the 9th inning of Game 6 when there were two outs and a catch would have meant a World Series title for the Texas Rangers?

The first base defense was embarrassing during the playoffs.
Between Napoli, Young, Moreland, and the douchebag umpire from St Louis…
Sorry Face
But I’m going under here. Though, not by much.
I shortened my sig so I wouldn't be frowned upon at Lookout Landing
Under, he'll hit .300 but i'll be empty
.300/.350/.400

speaking of non Ranger ZiPS projections
I think Eric Hosmer is going to ream his projection of .304/.354/.474
and it will be glorious

Over.
Face OPS has been above .767 8 of the last 9 years…the one year it wasn’t over .767, he had broken fingers (of course he played thru that injury and won a GG along the way).

I do not want that shirt.
I NEED THAT SHIRT.
Where can I procure one?
Best Minor League System in baseball, Best Overseas scouting in baseball, Best Front Office in baseball, and, of course, the Moneypenis™ Jorge C 1/28/12
I "designed" it at shirtmockup.com...
and then had it made up at Jakprints.

OT: statistic I'm looking for
Is there anybody out there who is aware of a metric that measures a hitter’s success against good pitchers rather than arbitrary splits like day/night? Also, is there a similar metric that shows a pitcher’s success against good hitters?
Jon Daniels > Nolan Ryan > awesome
sOPS at b-ref, I think

The difficulty here would be defining good and bad, and using hard, arbitrary cutiffs,
An adjustment could be done. That’s what BP tries to do with the unfortunately-named SNLVAR.

SNLVAR
I think that’s a stat measuring against an average of SNL skits. Jon Lovitz, for example, has a SNLVAR of 112.

Go look at the pics I put up for the other players in this series
And then watch for the ones for the other players to come.
You’ll notice a trend.

Hamilton being an exception?

Over
Young will regress some this year but he should remain above .767. Don’t think it will be that high above .767 but it’ll still be over. I guess around .785-.795.

Over
.770

Over.
I think being a mostly DH is a boon for Young. He’s got the focus and experience to not get lost in the shuffle when he DHs and it helps keep him fresh. I’m expecting something like .310/.360/.440
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
Under, but mostly because I hate Young and hope he will never have success ever again
/sarcasm (except on the under part).
Over. Same as most others - not by much.
Football can go to hell. The Rangers aren't ready for football season and neither am I.
My first under
of the 3 I’ve voted

smidge over

Over.
Michael Young defies age and proves me wrong every year, so whatever.
Wait, shouldn’t I say under then?
