Contract Crowdsourcing 2019-20: Ballot 8 of 10
Free agency begins five days after the end of the World Series. As in other recent offseasons, FanGraphs is once again facilitating a contract-crowdsourcing project this offseason, the idea being to harness the wisdom of the crowds to the end of better understanding the 2019-20 free-agent market.
Below are ballots for eight of this year’s free agents — in this case, a group of starting pitchers who might be considered a step down in terms of quality compared to those on the prior starting pitcher ballot. Numbers are prorated to full season where noted. Projected WAR figures from final the update of the 2019 Steamer forecast.

Nice list of pitchers that Wander Javier will some day homer off of, if they’re still in the league. Thanks Meg.
