Tango,
I believe that Ken Warren did publish his predictions, if putting them on a website counts as publishing. Anyway, the hitters can be found in the homepage link and on that page is a link to pitchers.
Hope that helps.

I'll put this here, since I need to solicit TangoTiger's help and since there is a somewhat loose connection to A-ROD.
My question for you sir is in regards to players with poor discipline (ala Nomar, and the very loose connection) and their aging patterns. Have there been any studies to see if players with good discipline age better or worse than players with poor discipline?
Over on Sox Therapy quite a few posters have said that Nomar doesn't figure to age well. They argue that since he swings at everything he has to be in peak phsyical shape. And they argue that when he starts to lose a slight step, he'll have more trouble than the normal batter because of his swing at everything approach (because balls are harder to hit than strikes, and Nomar swings at and hits a ton of balls). This may make sense logically, although not the most sound arguement ever. I wanted to use a study to evaluate this statement.
I'm not sure if BBs, BB/K or even pitchers per plate appearance would be best. I might think that PPE would be best, since in this case it is prolly a better measure of someone's "hacktasticness" (a new word!).
Thanks in advance Tango.
