2009 projected wins

Hey folks, I’m looking for some input. I estimated the Pirates 2009 win total using a spreadsheet created by Sky Kalkman of Beyond the Box Score and the CHONE projections. I was hoping you could take a look at my estimated playing time for each player and let me know what you think.

Here’s the post describing what I did.

Here’s a direct link to the spreadsheet I used.

Estimated plate appearances and innings pitched are in column C in the spreadsheet. Some players are listed multiple times at different positions to account for fielding value. I appreciate any thoughts you might have on the distribution of playing time.

Let me know if you have any questions about something that I didn’t cover in the post. I hope to do this again with different projection systems, and I am also interested in plugging in the community projections down the road to see what happens. The CHONE projections came out at 76 wins, which seems high.

Thanks for your time.
