How many wins and losses did they create for their teams? Did they make their teammates better? And what about some of the best specialists - how valuable were they? <b>Bill James</b> says, "Excellent writing...Dean is really struggling to understand the actual problem, rather than the statistical after-image of it. I learn a lot by reading him."</p> <p>Come <a href="book.html">find out more</a> about the book.</p> <p>Buy it <a href="http://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/potomac-books/9781574886887/">through the publisher</a>, at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1574886886/qid=1135475833/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-2579531-9906406?n=507846&s=books&v=glance">Amazon.com</a>, <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?isbn=1574886878&itm=1">Barnes & Noble</a>, or at major bookstores.</p> <div align="center"> <p><img src="images/welcome.jpg" alt="" height="287" width="350" border="0"></p> </div> <p></p> <p></p>  <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>  </html>
