David Lesky at Inside the Crown reacts to ZIPS projections for the Royals.
I was pleasantly surprised with the general projections for Salvador Perez, Witt, Melendez and Gentry, who checks in at .251/.331/.404 for a 101 OPS+. I was kind of bummed to see a .151 ISO for Drew Waters because I think the power is more real than that. I also kind of think the Vinnie Pasquantino .275/.352/.474 is a baseline for a guy who has shown he can hit at the big league level. If that’s his end slash line, I won’t be upset, but I think there’s a fair amount more in there.
