The Phillies are idiots, looks like they won't reap the rewards of Andy Tracy ;)Quote:
Four Phillies - Eric Bruntlett, Tyler Walker, Andy Tracy, and Paul Hoover - were removed from the 40-man roster and became free agents today, according to Andy Martino of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

It's also important to remember that projections are essentially the MEAN of a bunch of projections. Baseball Prospectus's PECOTA projections (when they're out, which won't be until early 2010, usually) show the percentages at various percentiles - 10th percentile projection, 50th percentile, 90th percentile, etc. A projection like CHONE only shows the mean projection, but it still uses the same basic structure to arrive at that mean. Projections are heavily "regressed to the mean." They don't attempt to project which guys will overperform or underperform their actual talent level - because that is essentially a random event. It is expected that a good amount of players will outperform their projection and a good amount will underperform their projection.
