Each year with the predictions column I start by going back to the previous year’s piece. The goal is to get more than 50 percent right, while not making boring predictions. Not once in all of the years of doing this have more turned out right than wrong. Out of last year’s batch, only three [...]
Michael Conforto had a fantastic year in 2020. If he kept that pace up over a 162-game season, he would have posted a 5.4 fWAR. My sincere hope is that everyone who is reading this knows that Conforto’s tremendous year was the result of an unsustainable BABIP. If instead of a .412 BABIP, he had [...]

Unlike other divisions, the NL East does not have a doormat team. The Marlins might not be a playoff favorite, but they've got more [...]
The season starts in seven days and there are still at least three projections that should be done. So, let’s go ahead and look at Brandon Nimmo. The Spring Training marvel and the on-base machine still has his detractors, although at least no one dismisses him as a fourth outfielder anymore. Well, that’s not 100% [...]
