pecota

Reading through Pecota. It has Anderson as basically the same value as Molina. Aside from the obvious reasons that Molina has a ton more experience, why wouldn't you jettison Yadi and his contract and put Anderson in the C position? When Pecota published their projections do they really take into account that Anderson is nowhere near ready for MLs? I don't understand how he could have same value as Yadi at this point. Are the Pecota cards meant to be direct comps or is Anderson's projection really based on what his first year in the MLs might look like?

PECOTA

doesn’t take into account the relative values of the 2 players’ defense. Yadi is worth more w/ the glove simply b/c of his ability to throw runners out.

That is true

and that is the main beef that I have with PECOTA. That probably explains why our projected record is so bad. We will probably be 3-4 wins better than average on defense alone.
