BASEBALL: Bill James In The Arena
There's a gradual buildup of baseball news to write about once I get the 2002 elections out of my system and get back to baseball. This glowing writeup of the Bill-James-goes-to-Boston story, by our good friend Art Martone, is a good place to start.
My take: James has done everything you could hope to do as a theorist. It will be exciting to see at least a part of his imprint on an actual franchise.
This is bad news for Shea Hillenbrand.
