Don't have time to do a long post, but I wanted to open up discussion of the release of the Baseball Prospectus player projections for 2005, via the site's PECOTA system. Just off the top (OBP/SLG/VORP): Milton Bradley (.365/.441/27.1) Adrian Beltre (.337/.486/30.9) To me, PECOTA is a mixed bag. (Here's a piece I wrote a year ago.) I don't put too much weight in the projections, but they offer a fun starting point for discussion. So discuss! P.S. Noticed this from the comment thread on last year's PECOTA post: If Mota can pitch well in the first half of the season, but the Dodgers don't appear to be playoff-bound I can see him being perfect trade fodder for DePodesta. Some team is going to be a desperate for a setup man and will overpay for him. Posted by: Bob Timmermann at February 27, 2004 11:30 PM
