My reply to the Erstad signing was going to be a simple one. I was simply going to post his projections along with Podsednik, Anderson, Sweeney, and Fields'.
Pecota, ZiPs, Chone, Marcel, I was going to cover the bases.
Problem. I had a gift subscription to BP which expired just weeks ago, and sometime in the last 48 hours they've switched their free preview team from the White Sox to Cardinals, so PECOTA is off limits to me.
Can one of you with access drop a comment with the 5 players Weighted Mean projections for AVG/OBP/SLG so that I can make a thorough comparison?
