One of my favorite parts of every baseball offseason is the release of Jason Colette's bold predictions series, where he takes on one hitter and one pitcher from every team in the league and offers a bold prediction about them for this upcoming season.

I've got Jason on the line to discuss some of the predictions that I agree with, and somewhere I'm going to need some convincing here on the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

Hello, and welcome everybody to the Thursday edition of the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast brought to you by

fan tracks. Eric Hulterman here joined today by, do we call him a guest, Jason Collette, Jason Collette of

fan graphs, but also of Roto Wire. More specifically, the Collette Calls column here on Roto Wire,

where every winter, Jason, you tackle some bold predictions.

We'll get to those soon.

But let's remind everybody, just how bold is bold.

What is the success rate that we're looking at with these bold predictions?

Usually it's about a third.

So that my goal is I try to get a third of these.

And I set them up so they are not

so unrealistic that they're just like life goals. They should be somewhat attainable, somewhere

in the scope of reality. Right. And so I do try to set them so there is a possibility,

a single digit possibility. But I also don't want to make

them so easy that it's like, oh, hey, I got this one, right? It's like last year, I said

college former would hit 50 home runs. I actually underscored that by six, but I said he hit 50

because unless your name is Aaron Judge, like there were, there were, I think, 11 people in the history of baseball that had hit 50 plus

home runs at that age.

And Aaron Judge was the only one who had done it in some recent memory.

So it's like I do things like that.

It should look for things like that a couple of years ago.
