D-backs ZIPS and STEAMER Projections

ZIPS Projections for the Diamondbacks came out yesterday. As most of you know, Dan Szymborski publishes these every year at fangraphs.com rolling them out team by team before the final version is published in Spring. Eventually ZIPS are combined together with Steamer Projections to form the basis for Fangraphs Depth Chart projections. Fangraphs staff create their own depth chart and playing time projections and then apply the average of ZIPS and Steamer rates to that playing time projection. The Depth Chart projections are then updated daily and form the basis of of Fangraphs Standings projection.
