Tom Tango Needs Your Help - 2010 Fan Projection Surveys for Playing Time
Take five minutes and tell Tom Tango how much playing time you think each of our beloved Mariners will get. It's a nice little way of saying "thank you" to Tango, who, as Dave said, invented half the cool stuff at FanGraphs and, as a consultant to the M's, helped create our new statistical analysis office.
For some extra motivation, Royals Review is beating us 20-1 in submitted surveys right now. This will not stand.

Could someone explain why Tango likes to do community forecasts?
I seem to always forget the purpose even though I submit them when requested. Does this help his analysis in any way? Is it simply to find a general consensus of fans’ expectations? I am curious to see how these numbers are used and if they show any significance in its purpose.
Thanks.
Because, taking the Wisdom of Crowds approach, Tango's curious to see if groups of fans can pick up on things that projection systems can't

And of course I could have read his intro on the team selection page.
It’s like me to just scroll down to the area to submit a forecast and not read everything above.
Love that standard deviation on Ichiro.
Is that wisdom of crowds, or is that mind control?
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
