Community Forecasts

By Tangotiger, 10:06 AM

I will be preparing community forecasts, and am looking for any additional ideas from you guys. At the moment, I’m considering:
- player production: OPS, ERA
- most likely to breakthrough/collapse
- who do you think is a clutch/choke hitter on your team?
- who do you think is an ironman/playing-on-pinsandneedles on your team?

The focus is to see how well the community agrees, and how well do they end up doing.
