Re: Have you read BP\'s, Between the Numbers
[ QUOTE ]
So is there no in between? You either think that it is the Bible or you think it's trash? [/ QUOTE ] NO, I think I'm arguing that I'm in between, heavily toward the good/very good side.

[ QUOTE ] Like defensive metrics for baseball... All of which generally suck. [/ QUOTE ] UZR, bitch. [/ QUOTE ] Blah Blah Blah... Here is the summation of defensive metrics... "We suck because we can't even agree who is goot or not goot. Christ even Jeter is significantly above avg in some systems."

I actually read the thing about 3 or 4 times and never really found any of it boring. Most of their analysis is done using techniques used in upper level graduate statistics courses. Not every section is pure gold. I remember disagreeing with a few of their adhoc procedures but overall I feel like I can analyze sporting events much much better than any of my friends, even those that are getting advanced degrees. Very brilliant minds will learn something new from the book.
