More 2006 Simulations

Back on February 2, I posted SG's results for 100 seasons of ZIPS projections.

He has recently run "another 100 Diamond Mind simulations using Baseball Prospectus's PECOTA projections, and the results were far more encouraging for Yankee fans."

Here they are:

            W   L   RF   RA  DIV  WC  Hi W  Lo W
New York   91  71  879  785   53  19   106    80
Boston     87  75  852  767   33  14   107    73
Toronto    83  79  767  749   13   6   100    68
Baltimore  75  87  747  804    2   2    92    58
Tampa Bay  70  92  698  826    0   1    90    53

I see that some of the pre-season magazines are out, so I'll be taking a look at those soon.

Then there is the Yankees vs. Red Sox comparison according to Scrabble.
