Almost all the way through. Mike Minor today, Cole Hamels tomorrow and then the overall results on Thursday. The Rangers acquired a lot of speculative pitchers in the offseason, and in the case of Mike, it was for a guy who was a reliever who wanted to convert to a starter. For most of the acquisitions, it didn’t work out, but Mike Minor had a pretty good year and went from dominant reliever to a reasonable starter.
Congrats to firemanrhea who had the lowest projection score! Here’s the link to the spreadsheet with everyone’s score.
As a reminder, the scoring is using Z-Score, or the number of standard deviations away from the actual result, for each of the provided categories, PA, AVG, OBP, and SLG for hitters. For pitchers the categories were IP, ERA, SO9, BB9, and HR9.
The OPT+ number indicates how optimistic a projection was compared to the LSB average. A OPT+ of 115 is 15% more optimistic than average and an OPT+ of 85 is 15% more pessimistic than average.
