Maybe this can change next year but by the time the All-Star break hits the preseason Zips projections could hold a lot less weight. Or use the updated Zips because holding so much weight on preseason projections in July seem weird if they are true Live cards.

Example: Ketel Marte and Yoan Moncada are silver cards but the updated Zips projections have them as top 12 WAR players this year with a bunch of Diamond and Perfect players.
Moncada has a .907 OPS right now. .898 in the updated Zips. That is probably where users question some Live Card ratings. Moncada would have to have a second half OPS of .480 to hit the preseason .727 projection on him. So what is the point of giving that much preseason projection weight on him? Preseason projection weight doesn't give all cards a true Live feeling.
