FanGraphs Audio: The 2017 Over/Under Prospect Game

by
February 6, 2017

Episode 714
Lead prospect analyst Eric Longenhagen is the guest on this edition of the pod, which also represents the inaugural edition of the Over/Under Prospect Game.

Here’s how to play:

  • Contestant A nominates a rookie-eligible player.
  • Contestant A also sets an over/under figure for that player’s WAR in 2017.
  • Contestant B chooses the over or under.

For this inaugural edition, both Longenhagen and the idiot host have nominated five players, for a total of 10 overall. Click here to see the results.

This is actually great, because Eric matches Carson’s enthusiasm in this utterly inconsequential exercise. The result is a weird, belabored, non-competitive pissing contest of the obscure. Top shelf pre-season pod
