    Interesting. I have my own projection system (which beat Marcel, CHONE ZiPS and PECOTA last year), which is a blend of several things, and it has the exact same order for the teams. The only difference is that the first three are about 3 wins higher and the last two about 3 wins lower.

    Tom,

    What competition? I will be entering it in the DugoutCentral.com Challenge, assuming they run it this year (which means assuming I run it this year, since I ran it last year :-)).

    Not that it can't be used in more than one place, I just want to know what I'm getting into...

    [...] 2010 Marcel Projected Standings: National League West (Baseball-Reference) Neil Paine has the Padres at 76-86, which seems just about right to me. [...]
