I could live with a 73-win season.
It’d be a nice bounce up from last year.
I wonder what the spread is on our projection…
It's interesting
Apparently Nate McLouth is the only traded ex-Pirate seen to have a winning season in 2010. How is that possible with all those great star players?
Sizemore's injury...
…probably didn’t help the Indians any, relative to that projection. I bet their deadline trades didn’t help, either.
Actually, the Indians winning percentage was pretty much the same (under .400) before Sizemore’s injury, to the trading deadline, and after as well.

I haven't done my personal projections yet,
but I think 73 sounds about right.
Can't say I agree with Houston getting to 73.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they lost a hundy.
CHONE’s original projections, for which Rally used his normal method, which has done as well or better than any other standings projection over the past five years, had the Pirates winning 74 games. The projections linked here are based on starting lineups only (so they underrate depth, which is a strength of the 2010 Bucs, IMO) and was created mainly to shut up Mariners fans who couldn’t seem to wrap their heads around the idea that trading for Cliff Lee didn’t automatically make them the favorites to win the World Series. (Have I mentioned that I’m getting extremely annoyed by this obnoxious Zduriencik/Mariners bandwagon?) You can see the original, uncompromised projections here. They’re not much different, but I like the extra win for the Bucs and the extra loss for the Cards.
