As we dive deeper into the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the conversation around player projections is heating up. Jeff Zimmerman's recent analysis on hitter playing time and projections has sparked some intriguing insights, particularly regarding the accuracy of various projection systems.
One of the standout revelations is how projection aggregators consistently outperform individual systems, with the Marcels projection from Baseball-Reference leading the pack. This raises a critical question: Are we placing too much faith in individual projections, especially for injury-prone players? With names like Mike Trout and Kris Bryant being overprojected, how should we adjust our drafting strategies?
Moreover, Zimmerman's findings suggest that incorporating a smart, computer-based projection can significantly enhance accuracy. This begs the question: How do you balance traditional scouting with data-driven projections in your fantasy strategy?
Let’s not forget the implications for our upcoming drafts. With the knowledge that many projections tend to overestimate playing time, how do you plan to approach your roster construction? Are there specific players you’re now wary of based on these insights?
I’m curious to hear your thoughts! What projection systems do you trust the most, and how do you think they will perform this season? Do you have any bold predictions for players who might defy the odds? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
