COMMENTARY:
I am very happy with how this one turned out. . .I nailed the games played, and was just ONE point away on isolated power. Walks and strikeouts normalized for at-bats was really close, too. I will start including OBP in my CBs from now on so we can make more direct comparisons in that category.
I'm starting to think that maybe I really should take these Crystal Balls more seriously...I put a lot of thought into them, and maybe it works as well as any other projection system. Your thoughts?
