Joe Sheehan's Last Column For BP, Prospectus Today: Retrospective On Runs & Records

Every year I try to project every team’s record and runs scored and allowed, using as much information as is available to me in the waning days of March. I do it because it’s fun, and because the process of making those predictions is very educational for me in the ramp-up to the season. The process, rather than the end results, is what is important, because the chance of getting many teams’ overall records or run differentials correct is fairly slim. The value of the pieces I write at that time is in the analysis, the words; the numbers are for information purposes only.
