Re: Can someone please explain player regression to me?
It looks like we all agree for the most part, and like Knight said I can't imagine them switching to a purely performance-based system... but specifically mentioning it in the fact sheet does nothing but increase my suspicion, especially when that's the only word we have at the moment
Just want to point out for Bruce there was an extensive article @ Fangraphs that he has been in steady decline since 2011. I'm not saying he can get any worse than 2014, but the chances of him getting back to 2010-2013 levels aren't very good. He fits the "old player skillset" to a tee:

Young players with old-player skills (high K, BB and HR) - These players exhibit power at an early age with high number of walks and strikeouts. The criteria I used were hitters who are 25 years old or younger with more than 20 HRs, a K/PA greater than 15% and a BB/PA greater than 5% (73 total players including Joey Votto, Evan Longoria, Troy Tulowitzki).
