“Craig Wright is Bill James |
The current audience of The Diamond Appraised column is a small eclectic
mix. It ranges from the self-described “typical baseball fan” to members of
the media (print, radio, and TV are all represented), and both former and
current baseball executives. There are even players, both current and
retired. The
attraction of the column is the experience and quality of thought behind
it. I spent 21 years in major league
baseball pioneering a more scientific approach to the game. It has been a few
years since making the decision to leave that aspect of my career, but I more
than keep up enough with the game to maintain relevance for what I write
about. One former GM sent me a kind note commenting on something I wrote back
in mid-July and said, “This type of work is the very reason you should be
involved with a Major League team today.” I am not going back to that prior
career; I leave that to the next generation, but I still care very much about
the game, and find it interesting and fun. The
Diamond Appraised baseball column is not your typical sports column in that it has
no set schedule and is not restricted by minimum or maximum column length. I
don’t force myself to write something because a deadline requires it, nor do
I stretch something out to fill “white space.” When I condense something, it
is done out of regard for the value of brevity suitable to the general
reader, and not because I have to keep it under a specific length. I appreciate your stopping
by. I hope you have time to look at some of the samples. If
you have a question, go to FAQ (frequently
asked questions). If the answer isn’t there, please go to the Contact Us page and email in
