Disclaimer: ZiPS projections are computer-based projections of performance. Performances have not been allocated to predicted playing time in the majors - many of the players listed above are unlikely to play in the majors at all in 2011. ZiPS is projecting equivalent production - a .240 ZiPS projection may end up being .280 in AAA or .300 in AA, for example. Whether or not a player will play is one of many non-statistical factors one has to take into account when predicting the future.

Whoa! That's a lot of walks for Mr. Poreda!

Yeah, it's an obscene amount of walks. But that's how his stats in AA and AAA translated. His 2010 BB/9 was 10.7. Right now, Poreda makes Carlos Marmol look like Greg Maddux.
