St. Louis Cardinals 2014 VEB Community Projection Results: Matt Holliday

By VoxMediaUser199800
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Spor

Given that Holliday is one of the most seasoned players that we projected, it shouldn't be a surprised that there is a relatively small spread among the projection systems. VEB is more optimistic, sure, but it's not by a whole lot. ZiPS has been bearish on Matt Holliday for several years in a row now (.288/.371/.484 in 2012, vs .296/.388/.525 actual; .281/.365/.473 last year, vs .300/.379/.490 actual), and that hasn't changed for 2014. Hopefully that trend continues.

BGH Note: As ZiPS mastermind Dan Szymborski noted on Twitter, I had a typo on the graphic that originally ran in this post. The ZiPS OPS was wrong..360 + .468 ≠ .728. It equals .828, as the current, corrected graphic corrective shows.

Most of the professional projections fall under or right at the 25th percentile VEB projection, which is an interesting phenomenon. Watching Matt Holliday play every day, he's still hitting the ball as hard as almost anybody in the Majors, and that may be hard for them to pick up with the age-related declines built in.
