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 David Murphy to have an OPS of 750 in 2012.

Over - but just barely

.765

I hate The Angels so much, it's actually cramping my style. (See RevHaloFans SBN profile page)

Looks like someone missed the memo about the change in ownership

Boy, this is awkward.

You think Adam is writing about David Murphy while in Vegas?

This one was scheduled. However, it didn’t post when it was scheduled to so I had to force it through.

I'm going over, simply because I think he'll face fewer lefties than typical.

I chose the under

because Murphy underwhelms me in every way imaginable.

before August way below..after way over

by capps1 on Feb 16, 2012 2:43 PM CST reply actions

I'll go under

to add legitimacy to my “over” votes for every starter.

I considered this strategy...

And decided to continue taking the over on everyone. I think the ZiPS projections make sense… Hamilton was the only one that really surprised me. But I think if I keep taking the over I’ll be right more often than I won’t be.

Definitely

by Jobu. on Feb 16, 2012 3:24 PM CST up reply actions

I voted under

but this is really a push for me, and it depends on how much he is platooned (which may in turn depend on the health of Hamilton and the effectiveness of the CF options).

I went under, slightly

I’m having a bad day so Face has regressed in my prediction, and I am going with .742 for Murphy.

OVER

a gritty .810

To be clear, I've yet to go look at a player's year or career stats before making my choice.

Under, for so long as the Murphy Strike exists.
