| | From the Goldmine | | 2008-03-05 04:52:00 | | Bill James just began Bill James Online with John Dewan and James’ book, The Bill James Goldmine 2008, was released around the same time. I just picked up the book this past weekend and it’s not your typical Bill James book. The book is divided into chapters for each team (2007 season) and there are about 15 columns in the book as well.
The team sections include a bunch of stats that you’ve almost certainly never seen. The stats are from Bill James Online so not all the stats for each team are there, but stats like winning percentage when your team hits a home run, the team’s batting line in wins and losses, how many times some hitter drove in a specific teammate.
