Someone just brought this link to my attention.

I know this has no poker content, but he did most of his posting in these forums and I know we have a ton of baseball fans here, so I figured I'd post this.

Pretty freaking sweet. This boggles my mind that he created PECOTA (used by all types of baseball types, including GM's, if they have a clue.)

I'm starting the grassroots campaign to get Nate to be GM of the Cubs.

Yeah I was in chicago this past weekend and ran into him at Dean's place. He said he's been coming back to poker a little trying to grind back from the lower-mid stakes as he's been away from it a lot doing all of that baseball prospectus stuff. I agree it's awesome that he's the brainchild of Pecota...super cool.

silver for GM!

Re: NateThaGreat
 

Wow I always respected his posts, and now I respect the man.

Congrats to him, that's pretty sweet.

Re: NateThaGreat
 

Be nice if he could develop the same system for poker players.

Re: NateThaGreat
 

i've always wondered if he bets on sports, and if so, how much money he's made. i'm sure he could crush it.

He doesn't. Go Nate, nice article!

Re: NateThaGreat
 

I haven't clicked the link but it just clicked...he's from Baseball Prospectus? That's pretty sick. That stuff is wildly in-depth.

Re: NateThaGreat
 

It blew my mind when I found out too. All of his articles and PECOTA are top notch.
