BP Cubs Projection

[Jntg4]

For last year, using advanced stats and an average-strength schedule, projects that the Cubs should have won 10 more games than they did last year. Of course, Milwaukee too should have been better in the super-strong division, so 76 wins is still good for last place by their measure.

Sorry, I'm using the eye test. This team sucked in 2013, there is no way to sugarcoat it.

Aaron Levenstein put it best: "Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital."

If they'd won 10 more games they still wouldn't have been good.. perhaps average but not good.... not sure what your point on stats has to do with anything.
