2018 FAN Projections!

The 2018 FAN Projection ballots are now open!

Before you can project any players, you’ll have to select the team you follow most closely towards the top of the screen. If you really don’t follow a team, just pick one. You’ll only have to do this once.

After you’ve selected a team, you can begin projecting players. There are nine categories of interest for pitchers and 10 categories for position players. Pick the values in the drop-down boxes closest to what you think the player will do in 2018. Hit the submit button and you’re done! If you made a mistake, you can always go back and change your selection at any time.

Please note that everything is a rate stat. You’re projecting 2B+3B, HR, SB, and Fielding as a measure of 150 games (basically a full season). The player’s previous stats are shown per 150 games in the projection ballot, too. This will make changing playing-time projections much easier, as you’ll only have to change the games played portion.

That’s really all there is to it. You can filter players by team or, if you go to the player pages, you can project players individually. If you want to see all the players you’ve projected, you can click on the “My Rankings” button, which will show you only what you specifically projected a player to do.

FAN Projections will show up on a player’s page after five ballots have been submitted for him.

If you do notice any issues, please let us know.

Will we be able to make an Ohtani hitting projection?

When its literally impossible to project Kenley Jansen and Craig Kimbrel to do what they did last year because the K/9 tops out at 13.9 and the ERA bottoms out at 2.00

Can you update traded players? Seems odd to rank Headley play time on the yankees…

Update request: Nationals have both Adam Lind and Jayson Werth on the projection page, but not Matt Adams.

Too Much Info

You can’t just go ignoring information you don’t like, that skews the projections.
