Yesterday, Baseball Prospectus released their PECOTA projections for the 2016 MLB season and they could have been kinder to the Yankees. According to them, New York will finish 85-77, on their way to a fourth-place finish in the American League East. Of course, these are only projections and nothing is set in stone (the World Series-winning Kansas City Royals are only projected to win 76 games) so take these numbers with a hearty grain of salt. That being said, there were at least a few interesting things PECOTA projected for the Yankees this season.
