I was going to mention the Pirates staying at 57 wins, but then I realized that this looks like the laziest projection of all time. Just looking at the NL there are only 3 teams who have their record move 3 or more games from last year and 7 who have the exact same record. The only change in the standings is the Brewers falling behind the Astros (!?). In the AL the only change in the standings is the Yankees pulling ahead of the Rays (but still having both make the playoffs). Somehow the Yankees improve by 5 games and the Red Sox stay exactly the same.

Well, PECOTA makes conservative predictions for players even when the mechanism believes those players will improve. So....

Looks like I'm not out on the branch alone, when I said the Pirates are a best case 100 loss team. I think 105 losses is easily within reach for this team. Now here's the upside, relating to WTM's post. I'm looking forward to a list of first round picks that Alvarez, Taillon, Rendon, and the top pick in 2012. |

There are some really surprising numbers in there. The Padres are going to finish with the same record as last year after trading Gonzalez? The Red Sox won't be better after bringing in Gonzalez and Crawford? The Cubs and Brewers are each going to have worse records than last year after each made some big acquisitions?

Wait for PECOTA v1.1 to come out. Didn't they make some sort of error last year that had to be corrected? |

It's not a lazy projection. Historical numbers provide the input, PECOTA generates the output. It's a mathematical mechanism. Lazy is not one of its qualities. |

This is scary. I bet that PECOTA underestimates Andrew and Pedro, has Walker regressing and has horrible news about our pitching staff. On the bright side, MLB network has Andrew #1 in center, Walker in the top 10 at second, and Pedro just outside the top 10 at third. I say sign Andrew now to a long term deal before he has an MVP season.

Last year, they had the Bucs winning 70 games. They missed the Giants winning the West and the Rangers the AL central. |

Agree signing McCutchen to a Longoria type deal. The offense isn't the reason this team will be so bad. The pitching is, especially the starting pitching. |

I'm ticked off the team never seemed to pursue this during the offseason. |

I think the Yankees at 100 wins is a reach.
The Phillies at only 94 wins seems too low.
