We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

Maybe Ross Ohlendorf Can Write For BP
Ohlendorf is a starting pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, a Princeton grad, and probably the smartest player in baseball. Tim Kurkjian actually did something productive (for once) and wrote a great piece about Ohlendorf and his senior thesis about signing bonuses and the draft. This article was actually extremely informative and the conclusion Ohlendorf found: on average, a player brought into the major leagues and given a basic signing bonus was worth. Just go read the actual article.
