They Said it - A look at Fangraphs




This is a great quote from Dave Cameron at Fangraphs.com:

"...and now Adam Dunn has joined the Washington Reds for $20 million over two years. This is a classic Jim Bowden move - acquire a former top prospect that he's already acquired previously, especially if he doesn't really have room for them on his roster. If Bowden were a general contractor, he'd build houses with nine bedrooms, six garages, no bathrooms, and half a roof. "
Frangraphs is a great stats site. It gives you every statistic you could ask for, and then some more. It doesn't stop at standard statistics, it goes into advanced, win probability, stats on batted balls, pitch type, plate discipline, fielding and overall value. 

The coolest part of Fangraphs is it gives you a read out of the top projections for that player from other sources, including the great Bill James.

You know what? I am completely okay with my 4 spot hitter following that Bill James projection.
