Sadly, if we switched Elvis's and Prince's numbers everyone's projections would have been much closer for both players.
Sorry to see Prince's career end on such a down note but we wish him the best in his post playing days.
The commenter who came the closest in projection was: RangerMad!
Notes
- OPT+ is an indicator of how a projection compared to the LSB Average. 100 is average, 110 is 10% better than average, and 90 is 10% worse than average.
- SCORE is an average of the number of standard deviations away from the actual results for each projected value also known as a Z-Score.
- FanGraphs Depth Charts is from FanGraphs.com using their hybrid of ZiPS and Steamer and manually determined playing time.
- The number in parentheses after LSB Average is the total number of entries for this player.
