Thinking about developing my own projection system. Tried out a barebones Marcel's type last year but with different weights over 4 seasons of various stats. What's the next step?

Lots and lots of research as to what things are predictive and how.

Would you opt out if you were justin upton?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I personally would not, last winter and then the mediocre returns in trades should make it clear how out-of-love teams are with corner outfielders righ tnow
