Detroit Tigers: An unscientific way to predict 2018 performance

Detroit Tigers fans are beginning to come to terms with the rebuilding process taking place in the Motor City. While having less major league talent is a tough pill to swallow, fans will get to enjoy watching young prospects grow and develop at the big league level. With established players, it is usually somewhat predictable how they will perform year in and year out. Rookies and prospects, however, are a different story.

There are hundreds of different projection systems out there that use advanced stats to try and predict future performance. PECOTA, Steamer, ZIPS and Depth Charts are just a handful of the ways for fans to gauge how successful their team or their favorite player will be in 2018.
