Jordan in Finland (Fantasy Baseball Oligarch)

Left: OOPSY's biggest misses relative to the other systems. Right: OOPSY's biggest hits relative to other systems (sorted by magnitude of error relative to other systems)

OOPSY also did well overall. The article didn't review specific component projections, but OOPSY's RBI projections weren't good. need to spend more time on those. BB, K, HR, SB were all good, comparable to THE BAT X and Steamer. ZiPS hosed us in those too.

The reviews are in: critics are hailing OOPSY as Paul Thomas Anderson's most entertaining film yet. No, wait, that is "One Battle After Another." Good work, @dszymborski.fangraphs.com
(2025's best hitting projections on FanGraphs) and
Steamer gang (2025's best pitching projections on FG)

OOPSY's top prospect arms: Burns, Tong, Yesavage, Tolle, T. White, McLean

& top prospect bats: Basallo, R. Rodriguez, McGonigle, K. Griffin, Briceño, Emerson

this one stressed me out, glad it's out there!

i know the 2025 projections are often too bullish on teens crushing the lower minors. I'd just stick with the peak proj for those guys as almost nobody actually jumps from A to MLB in the same year. there'd likely be a bigger hit to performance than typical translations indicate if they did

OOPSY's top projected offenses the rest of the way (team wRC+ weighted by DC PA)

Now that David Robertson has signed, for the first time, major league baseball has achieved a perfectly efficient allocation of talent... for better or worse, there's no need for any additional moves this trade deadline

I love seeing @fangraphs.com trade value Top 10 screenshots. I want more. So let's do a contest. Reply to this post with your top 10 by end of day tomorrow. I'll pick my favorite and give out a one-year membership to the site. Happy clicking!

Basallo had (very good) spring bat speed data that's already in there yeah...peak projections are at scout the statline

EV90 is in OOPSY now. for now as a proxy for bat speed for minor leaguers. Noteworthy gainers (new peak wRC+): Konnor Griffin (120), Owen Caissie (126), Bryce Eldridge (124). Noteworthy fallers: Payton Eeles (93) and Dameury Pena (96)

Working on adding EV90 into OOPSY as a proxy for bat speed for minor leaguers...btw, when did @fangraphs.com add EV90 for MLBers, a nice surprise! for prospects, I've been pulling EV90 from the indispensable @oriolebird.bsky.social's Prospect Savant‬ leaderboards, I command you to follow him now!

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Yes fortunately...but only with major revisions of course!
