(BA = BaseballAmerica, BP = Baseball Prospectus)

Does anyone know when PECOTA projections come out?
Haven't checked in in a while, but just reminding you to make sure you compare BA/BP to Sickels. All 3 have serious flaws. For instance, BA- Seriously? Hagedone at #3? Inoa at #3 without stateside stats? Aceves in a top 10? Something's in the water over there. And, while BP has looked pretty good so far, there are some iffy rankings (Neftali Soto, Caleb Gindl are too low, IMO, and they seem a little too willing to give out 3-star ratings). Sickels, lastly, has much bigger lists (he uses top 20s, with bonus "Just Missed" guys, too), but this leads to many exclusions/fringe inclusions.

So, not sound like a broken record, but be careful with prospects. I play this game primarily for franchise/prospect development, and your roster set usually does a fairly good job with that.

If you need any help on prospect rating, I'll help you as I planned to last year. Let me know.
