He's probably all about the ZIPS projections (which are awful, IMO).
Whatever formula ZIPS is using makes no sense to me. It's extremely conservative and particularly hard on young players.
I mean, it predicts Mike Trout - a guy who has hit .326 and .323 in the major leagues - to be a .302 hitter this year. Just silly.
