Mach Ian Snell Carlos Marmol
That's what I did to poor Todd Zola, who chose to make a PICK of Ian Snell but had his comment land beneath Carlos Marmol. I'm not going to try to figure out how that happened, or how none of us noticed it given the contents of the PICK:
ZOLA PICK: Ian Snell--Forget the Wins. Snell improved his skills in 2007. Predicting year three of a talented player is as difficult as it gets. My spidey sense is telling me what we saw is real and Snell will continue to get better.
But like Spiderman, perhaps, continue to suffer identity issues. Sorry about that Todd.

Today's correx
I'm working on updated projections and there are plenty of little tweaks and changes because of various signings and releases. I should probably do a better job of documenting what all those changes are, but I don't. I did notice while going through the projections that I put a bid price on Alex Escobar of $8, who is currently a free agent. That was wack.
Not that he couldn't earn that if he stayed healthy, but he's never stayed healthy. If he looks like he has a shot at playing time on draft day he's worth a few bucks. Even if he's sort of buried but kind of healthy he's worth a buck. But these are end game plays when everyone good is gone. $8? What was I thinking?

Jered Weaver
I think I just neglected to adjust Jered Weaver's mechanical projection before pouring it into the Guide. Here's my projection as of December 20.
IP H ER HR BB K W L S ERA WHIP
150 149 60 18 45 128 11 7 0 3.59 1.29
IP H ER HR BB K W L S ERA WHIP

Justin Verlander
I'm not sure what happened here, but he ended up projected as a reliever. He'd be a good one, but that's not his role. Here's a corrected line.
IP H ER HR BB K W L SV ERA WHIP
150 142 56 14 44 122 13 8 0 3.36 1.24
As I type this I wonder about the 150 IP. That's really a way to hedge what otherwise has to be a strong projection. I suppose when I do the final tweaks I'll have to bump him up to 200 IP, but at this point it seems too much too soon.
