As you can see, the Minor League Ball Community Projection is more optimistic than CHONE, Marcel, and ZIPS, especially when it comes to Holland's hit rate. Either the community is a lot more optimistic about the Rangers defense, or you guys expect Holland's BABIP to improve for some other reason. Interestingly, the Fangraphs Fan projection (another community-style projection that tries to use the "wisdom of crowds") is also more optimistic than the computery outcomes.
My own projection (which I included in the community aggregate) was 19 games, 18 starts, 98 innings, 55 runs, 51 earned, 4.69, 90/40 K/BB, 105 hits, 14 homers, 5-7 record.
