Forecasting Injuries

By Tangotiger, 02:12 PM

I like it that Will goes out on a limb here to forecast injuries.  But, how does he do?  He’s been doing this for a few years now.  Has anyone checked in to see how Will’s been doing?  And, does even PECOTA use Will’s findings?  Does Will know more than Marcel?

We are in desperate need of more sabermetricians.  Bill James once said “I can’t do this by myself”.  Well, even those of us already in it can’t do this by ourselves.  Ask Will to post his red/green/yellow players for 2005-2007, and get cracking.  And if he won’t do it (I can’t imagine he won’t… Will may get some slack from others for his at times bombastic approach, but he’s a good guy), let me know, and I’ll put the squeeze on.
