2005 - The Year No One Hits 40 HRs?
Tango on Baseball has just released projections on player performance for 2005.
Looking at the batters file quickly, it appears that no one, in this system, projects to hit 40 homeruns in 2005. Being someone who can remember when 32 HRs would lead a league in that department, I would love to see this happen this season. Hope springs eternal.

Also has no pitchers projected to win more than 15 games.

I have to think Unit, with NY, will do better than the 12 they projected for him in AZ.

All of these "projections" are really nothing more than random guesses.
And, in other news, I randomly guess that nobody will have an exactly 84 RCAA, .694 SLG, 23 SB, 8 HBP and a pregnant wife season. But, I also randomly guess that someone in the majors will have a 43 RCAA season and someone will have a .343 OBA.

There isn't really such a term as a "pregnant-wife season," is there?
Does anybody have numbers on the changes to a player's offensive production made by having a baby on the way?

Check A-Rod 2003 vs. 2004.

aren't these projections more educated guesses or "projections" than random ones?
