Research Paper on Sabermetrics...

[KingKongvs.Godzilla]

looking for opinions on everything from pitch counts, to prospect analysis to anything.

 

I wanna make this paper as good as I can and want as many sources as I can. Need help, anything related appreciated.

What exactly is your thesis? Hard to know what to suggest without a little more of a focused idea.

Actually thats my problem, I have alot of time for this and only started doing anything for it when I wrote that post.

 

My thesis will be something about how sabermetrics is a natural positive growth in the sport that if taken advantage of can help any team.

 

It's a fairly simple essay, mostly the basics.

Then you should start with Branch Rickey, although he wasn't the first...

I have some Baseball Abstracts(Bill James original format) from the 80s. I am not sure they are worth anything but I flip through them sometimes. Its amazing how many stats he created that havent caught on with Sabermatricians.
