The DBacks Ace will need to shoulder a big load again in 2019"If f

amiliar with this series go ahead and skip to poll. If not Santiago Casilla Jersey , please read on.This series of articles will run from now until shortly before opening day. The purpose is to crowd source the D-Backs fans of this website to get a sense of how they feel about the prospects of each individual player on the 40 man roster. For this exercise I will only be using rate (average) stats and poll the readers on their sense of direction for that player’s level of basic performance, regardless of playing time expectations.I’m not including defense and base running, so no WAR here, as that is playing time dependent. You will be given two poll options:The player will either exceed the projection or under perform the projection by 5% for hitters OPS or 10% for pitchers ERA/FIP.There is no middle option to vote on. (Otherwise the majority of votes would end up agreeing with the projection).What I am looking for is if you are forced to indicate your sense of direction for the player, is it well over or under the projection?Other Points of note:Projections are the average of Steamer and ZIPS projections.(Click through for original tables)The projections draw on 3 or 4 year samples Mark McGwire Jersey , weighting most recent seasons the heaviest, but I’m just showing 2018 and career statsin mini table below for simplicityThe player’s name is high lighted with a link to the player’s Baseball-Reference page.Click on that to see more player history and detailAge is the 2019 player age.Polls will run until mid March, so if you miss a player,you can go to the story stream box on the front page andfind a player you might have missed .Please let us know in the comments section your thoughts behind your vote. Thanks !CONTEXT ZACK GREINKE . Age 35ZACK GREINKE IS PROJECTED FOR A 3.77 ERA/ 3.82 FIP. Is he likely to come in Over or Under ? Here are the men who will be available starting today in Arlington, Texas."There are no real surprises here; the Cubs had pretty much made clear who was going to be on the 25-man Opening Day roster several days ago when it was announced who was being sent down or back to the minor-league camp.Here it is http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , now, though, officially in print from the Cubs:You’ll note the four pitchers beinning the season on the injured list. Brandon Morrow is expected back by late April or early May. There’s no timetable for Xavier Cedeno or Tony Barnette, and Kendall Graveman won’t be back until at least August. It’s a familiar group. Just seven of these players weren’t on the Cubs’ Opening Day roster last year: Brad Brach, Cole Hamels http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-tebow-jersey , Randy Rosario, Brandon Kintzler, Daniel Descalso, David Bote and Mark Zagunis, and of those seven only Brach and Descalso didn’t play for the Cubs at all in 2018.Anthony Rizzo is the senior Cub in length of service for the team. 2019 will be his eighth year with the Cubs Darryl Strawberry Jersey , and it hardly seems like it could be that long, right? This is the first Opening Day roster assignment for Mark Zagunis.Ready for baseball? I am! Here is the Opening Day lineup:
