Back in March, I gave our writers the task of coming up with some out-on-a-limb projections for 2011. We run into trouble every year when we ground our future expectations in past realities, so it is an important exercise to create some possibilities that we would never have considered. Let's look back on the 20 bold projections we floated out on March 18. Remember - these were all pretty far-fetched back then.

This is the first of a 10-column series designed to help owners playing in keeper league (KL) and dynasty formats look ahead over the next few years in addressing their weak spots.

We cannot predict the future; all we can do is provide a sound process for constructing a "most likely expectation for future performance." All we can control is the process. As such, if we've captured as much information as is available, used the best methodology and analyzed the results correctly, that's about the best we can do. We simply can't control outcomes. What we can do is analyze all the misses to see why they occurred.
