Last week, FanGraphs and Dan Szymborski released the 2019 ZiPS projections for the Seattle Mariners. Examining projections like these might not be as exciting during a rebuilding year, but there’s still a few nuggets to be gleaned from the data.
Normally, I’d take these projections and the Steamer projections that have been out for months and build a rough win projection out of each of them. In 2019, that might be a depressing endeavor. Besides, I have an interesting idea for making that win projection much more interesting—I just have to wait for the rest of the ZiPS projections to be released.
