Blue Jays As 2018 Trade Deadline Buyers

The Fangraphs web site has a feature called Depth Charts, which takes the statistical projections from systems like Steamer and ZiPS and turns them into various aggregate projections for teams, leagues and positions. For example, the projections for team standings at the beginning of a season and for playoff odds mid-season both come from Depth Charts.

I mention the Depth Charts 2018 projections because they now show the Jays as an 86 win team, two games ahead of the Angels, and the second AL Wild Card team.

Now, I could fill the remainder of this article with caveats about projection systems.
