I've got some 2011 Wins Above Replacement projections for veteran Pirates players. How these came about is that I considered the player's production over the past 3 seasons, and weighed it accordingly (with the most recent season carrying the most weight, and so on). Then I adjusted some for players over 30 (Diaz, Overbay), and under 26 (McCutchen). That gives me a rough projection for Wins Above Replacement (Fangraphs version) for 2011. If you can do a much better projection than this, then obviously feel free, and let me know what you think here.
(Note: Some players are not included (in this first build at least), such as Tabata, Alvarez, Walker, and James McDonald. I didn't feel there was enough major league data to make a projection, particularly with the defense. McDonald bounced between starter and relief with the Dodgers, so I wasn't comfortable there, either, until he starts full-time for another season. I did include some old friends at the end, though).
Here are the results for V1.1:
| Player | 11 Proj. WAR |
| Overbay | 1.5 |
| Diaz | 0.8 |
| Cedeno | 0.4 |
| Snyder | 1.3 |
| Doumit | 0.9 |
| Jones | 0.9 |
| McCutchen | 3.7 |
| Maholm | 2.6 |
| Ohlendorf | 0.8 |
| Correia | 1.0 |
| Morton | 0.4 |
| Olsen | 0.0 |
| Hanrahan | 1.0 |
| Meek | 0.4 |
| Duke | 1.1 |
| D Young | 0.1 |
| Milledge | 0.5 |
| An LaRoche | 0.4 |
