SOMWorld 1B defensive ratings predictions are up

[visick]

Just predictions here guys...

1's- Teix, Lee, Helton, Mientkiewicz, AGonz and Albert.

[Detroit-Tigers]

How useful are the predictions? Are they 80% right?

[visick]

Fairly accurate.

There are gonna be guys that fall through the cracks.

If I remember correctly from last season, 80% accurate seems about right.

The 1's are kinda no brainers @ 1B. Helton appears to have better fielding #'s hence the 1 prediction.

When do the actual ratings get published?

I'm curious to see how Guillen gets rated with more time at 1b under his belt and the announcement that he's moving there next year. His numbers -- for what they're worth -- would support a 1, but as he's a 3 this year either a 2 or 3 next year is more likely.

I believe the range ratings are out by mid-late December....and the ratings book is out in February.

Thanks! We're doing a pre-card over in the ATG group and I'm hoping we can finish before any official numbers come out.
