Re: Bill James Answers All Your Baseball Questions

Thanks for posting WOY.
While James isn't shy about expressing his opinions, he has also had a humility about the limits of sabermetric research. Unlike pretty much everyone else in the human race, he also has the ability to admit that he was wrong rather than keep defending an original position. I can remember an article he wrote a few years ago when he discussed a prior position he had taken on something and then said that maybe "I didn't know what the hell I was talking about."
Actually James knows more than just about anyone who ever lived about the sabermetric aspect of the game, and he is a joy to read.
