Springer errors way off

My son and I unfortunately compete in a league that counts errors. BM has Springer projected for 17 errors! He had 3 in 275 games over 4 minor league years. I think this needs to be adjusted. Speaking of which, how do you guys project errors?

He has been adjusted to a number more inline with OF. Thanks for the note.

Funny thing....right after I mentioned this Springer makes 2 errors! I'm curious...how do you guys go about projecting errors?

For errors, we rely on historical data. For OF, since errors are very low, we also rely on league historical. How did Springer manage two errors in one night?

I don't think they were in one game. Not sure when they happened. All of the sudden I see Springer has 3 errors!

Now he's got 4 errors! Maybe you were right to begin with. How did you arrive at that original projection? Can I expect this higher rate of errors to continue?

We had never intended to give him a high error rate, and typically, we rate OF between 250-500 innings per error. Springer is currently producing errors at a rate of a very bad infielder so I imagine that will change. His current rate is one error every 28 innings.
