Unified Forecasts

By Tangotiger, 02:15 PM

I was going to do this for all the players in the league, and Ryan here gets a headstart on the A’s.  If someone wants to help me out, provide me with a spreadsheet of player names, ID, OPS or ERA for whatever forecasting system(s) you’re going to input or parse (Zips, Pecota, Shandler, James, Tippett, Chone, etc).  If you want to include the full batting or pitching line, that’s ok too.

The “ID” should be the playerid on Lahman database, or Retrosheet.  If not, then something else to help identify him, like AB, H, or IP from 2006.  This way, we can present a cumulative of all forecasting systems out there, which should be better than any single one of them.

Anyone want to help out?
