On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick looks at the 2021 ZiPS projections for the San Francisco Giants, which were released today on FanGraphs by Dan Szymborski. Ben talked at length last year about how projections systems were probably being overly pessimistic about the Giants, because of the team's commitment to platoons and the impact the new hitting coaches could make. Indeed, the Giants massively overperformed pessimistic 2020 projections almost across the board. Now, the 2021 ZiPS projections are out, and Ben examines whether or not the computer is buying into what the Giants were able to do in a small sample in 2020. As we'll see, the projections are slowly buying into the improvements, but they're not all-in just yet.
