Really? Really? Really?

Systems like this tend to ultimately be conservative.  For example, 5 teams last year won more games than they're predicting for the top team this year--and 4 teams won fewer games than they're predicting for the worst team.

Pache a top prospect for the Braves fell off in Oakland. He is a defensive gem but can’t hit. Maybe the Phillies turn him around.

Orioles are destroying the Red Sox in their season opener 10-4.

[Blarg]

Oh, FFS, Baltimore. It took five minutes to give up 3 runs making it 10-7.

Brandon Marsh is 1 for 1 so far.  We lost the trade!

It will be weird not seeing any posts this year about Pujols AB's.

[T.G.]

Marsh just doubled in a run.  He's 2 for 2 (triple and a double)

We lost the trade!
