And the winner is.... bigsteve!
Wait... what? bigsteve? Yup, bigsteve. Although gossamer didn't enter a Robinson Chirinos projection and with a decent one he might have won.
Anyway, congrats to Esteban Grande, that was some good projecting. Anyone who did better than the FanGraphs Depth Charts or LSB Average should feel pretty good. And no one who did all projections did worse than simply guessing the exact values from the 2014 season. Which is good, because if you can't do better than simply guessing last year's numbers you probably shouldn't make projections.
Also, shoutout to todmod who has at least his third top five finish and was the winner in 2011 the first year I did these.
