Fantasy season means players projections are ubiquitous right now. This is part of a multi-week series where we will go over projections player by player, averaging what we can to see how the computer models and pundits think the 2014 Mets players will do.
Josh Edgin will also be competing for part of the crowded bullpen competition. It has become crowded due to Lannan, Dice K, Farnsworth and Valverde all on minor league deals trying to push in. Edgin is another young arm, like Black, who looks to become a mainstay in the pen. Lets see what the numbers look like:
2013: 34 G, 28.2 IP, 12 BB, 20 K, 1 SV, 3.77 ERA, 1.33 WHIP
ESPN: 65 G, 52.0 IP, 23 BB, 44 K, 1 SV, 4.15 ERA, 1.31 WHIP
Steamer: 55 G, 55.0 IP, 3.83 ERA, 3 SV
Oliver: 55 G, 57.0 IP, 3.95 ERA
PECOTA: 54 G, 57.7 IP, 23 BB, 56 K, 3.78 ERA, 1.27 WHIP
Average: 57.25 G, 55.4 IP, 23 BB, 50 K, 3.93, 1.29 WHIP
