2010 Diamond Mind Projection Blowout - CAIRO Edition
CAIRO is my own in-house projection system, which is based on Marcel with the following changes.1) I use the prior four years of data, whereas Marcel uses only the prior three years.
2) I make adjustments for park, which Marcel does not do.
3) I use major league equivalencies for players who've played in the minors, which Marcel does not do.
4) I account for the defense behind a pitcher in their prior seasons as well as in projecting them for the next season, which Marcel does not do.
5) Marcel regresses everyone towards league average, I also regress towards different additional means based on player age and primary position.
6) My projected playing time is based on a weighted average of the previous four years, although I am more conservative when assigning playing time in these simulations.
