But maybe Dave was making a little joke too, considering how any sort of stand-out or even merely improved performance by any player draws a predictable and tedious response from certain commenters at Fangraphs (who generally never seem to contribute anything else).

I'd like to see the follow-up analysis (after the season is over) to see how good the 'community' is at this stuff. 'course, I'd like to know the 25-man before I settle down and place my estimates/predictions. I'm glad it's back. I wondered what happened to those.
