The St. Louis Cardinals aren't buying computer projections for the 2016 season.

FanGraphs, which employs a blend of two projection systems, Steamer and ZiPS, has them winning 84 games, 10 fewer than the Chicago Cubs and not enough to get into the postseason.

The Cardinals were ravaged with injuries last season and won 100 games.

In 2014, FanGraphs projected the Cardinals to win 89 games. They won 90. In 2015, it expected them to win 87 games, 13 short of the mark.

"Those things also have people like me hitting .260 with nine homers," Matt Carpenter said. "I'm going to guarantee you that I'll hit better than my projected stats. I don't buy into it. I believe that they're always kind of not very accurate, first off, and we know what we're capable of with this group of people."
