You may have noticed that FanGraphs’ initial 2016 projections came out, and… whoa:

  1. Cubs, 95-67
  2. Red Sox, 92-70
  3. Dodgers, 90-72

The Dodgers, the third-best team in baseball! This should come along with about a million different caveats including “sequencing and dumb-ass luck matter,” and “the projections don’t really handle relievers very well,” and “just because the projections didn’t like the Royals last year shouldn’t make you forget that no one liked the Royals last year,” and so on.

But really, it’s the Dodgers positioning that stands out, because, you know, if you listen to local radio or the guy who actually with a straight face said that the Hector Olivera/Alex Wood trade was among the worst in the history of the franchise — yes really, no, I’m not linking to it — the Dodgers are suffering through just a miserable winter.
