I initially created Baseball Graphs to develop new and better ways of presenting baseball statistics. The 2003 season was my first full-season attempt, and it turned out pretty well. I now spend a lot of my time creating and formatting the baseball stats at The Hardball Times.

Along the way, I've also picked up the writing bug. I spend most of my energy writing for THT, but sometimes I like to write about more geeky stuff, baseball research and things like that. That's what this blog is for.

I'm very interested in graphics and other information display, so I'll probably post links to creative stuff like that. I also plan to write historical articles that complement the historical graphs. And I have inexplicably developed an interest in baseball win-related stats, such as Bill James's Win Shares and something called Win Probability Added. So you can expect a few posts about that stuff too.

If you're interested, I've created a complex spreadsheet full of WPA logic, which you can download at ftp.baseballgraphs.com/wpa. If you'd like to read more about Win Shares, try these links:

Minor League Organization Reports

June 17, 2006

You have to see this.

Wow.  The newest great minor league site on the Internet is First Inning, just got better.  Already, First Inning includes career and current stats for all minor leaguers, as well as splits, game logs, news, team prospect lists and major league projections.  Now, they’ve added major league organization reports to the site, in which you can see the daily results of each minor league organization’s prospects in one handy page.

I love it.  Congratulations, First Inning, and thanks.
