The Yankees offense ain't all that?
At least that's what PECOTA thinks. BP's system has the Yankees more than 50 batting runs behind CHONE and CAIRO projections.
The most notable disparity is Posada, who PECOTA thinks is gonna die and be 6 BR less valuable then Brett Gardner? I don't have a BP sub anymore so I'm not sure if its mostly a playing time issue but that's rough. I bet JORGE SAYS NO to that.
The other large gap between CHONE/CAIRO and PECOTA is Arod, who is pegged at 107, 110, and 97 batting runs respectively. One commenter over there noted that PECOTA thinks A-rod will decline by two full wins instead of the usual half-win, which I frankly don't understand.

I can see the Posada thing...
he’s an old catcher coming off a pretty severe injury. That story doesn’t often end well.
Well
a. in the context of the entire league they don’t really hate the yankees, they project them to have the second best offense in baseball.
their projected standing think the Yankees will have the second best record in baseball…. and their division.Comments For This Post Are Closed
