Steamer releases 2016 Pirates projections

2016 Steamer projections have been released on FanGraphs, and there are a number of interesting projections for Pirates players. Warning: These are projections! Your mileage may vary!

-P- Unsurprisingly, Andrew McCutchen projects as the Pirates' best player, with 5.7 fWAR, followed by Gerrit Cole (4.1), Francisco Liriano (3.5) and Starling Marte (3.5).

-P- Neil Walker is projected to be worth 2.4 fWAR, more than justifying the approximately $11 million he'll likely command through arbitration.

-P- Gregory Polanco projects to hit .263/.327/.401, improving upon his 2015 offensive numbers but losing value overall due to declines in his baserunning and defense.
