Agreed.

The problem is that the WAR projections are significantly lower than they probably will be because the predicted innings are too low. I am not saying they should not be that low, as that is how the projection system works. I am simply saying that a player like McClung's value will rise if he is a starter because he will throw more than 68 innings.

Em, chone doesn't konw what position anyone plays. nor anyone's health status of spot in a rotation. all it knows is the past stats. And if you'll examine the average number of inning most players play the innings they have set forth are accurate. most players don't make it to 200 innings. projections are not, and of course should not, be based on what would happen if everyone was healthy, they are based on the average of what does happen each year. which is almost every pitcher not reaching 200 innings.
