Ubaldo Jimenez Prediction Contest Results
After he got off to a 9-1 start with a 0.88 ERA, I asked readers to predict Ubaldo Jimenez for the rest of the season.
Jimenez ended up with 10 W, 153 Ks, a 3.83 ERA and a 1.264 WHIP. We had two people who came up with pretty good predictions for Jimenez. They were:
Elgato7664: 11 W, 138 Ks, 3.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP
Toffer Peak 10 W, 130 Ks, 3.50 ERA, 1.28 WHIP
Vote in the comments for which one you think did better.
And I would be remiss if I did not mention that RoS ZiPS projected Jimenez for 11 wins and a 3.84 ERA, which was just about perfect. If only Jimenez had picked up a win instead of a no-decision on his last game of the year, when he pitched eight shutout innings, Dan Szymborski would have hit one out of the park.
Its fairly close but I would say Elgato7664 was just a bit closer.
agreed, Elgato7664 was closer on ERA & K’s. He gets the prize, and I get the kick in the ass for not trading high. Good Job.
Any predictions for next season on Mr. Jimenez?
