01/22: Numbers
Posted by: James
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a big numbers guy and in the interest of the rest of the numbers guys out there, I wanted to point out a few links of interest.
First, over at the Baseball Think factory, Dan Szymborski has posted the 2007 Zips projections for all teams, which can be then downloaded as an Excel file to play around with. If you're just interested in the Yankees, here's the page for them (note: this was before the RJ trade) and please note Johnson's projection (which I really don't agree with).
If you're more into dollars and cents, The Hardball Dollars is the place to be. I like the site because it shows team totals for current year as well as a couple years in the future. Additionally, to make the site more collaborative, the owner of the site is going to a wiki environment where everyone is free to enter information. Once the wiki is up and running (and more people learn about it), I think it will provide a lot of use for fans who are looking for a summary of where their team stands in terms of pricing their assets. Of course, if you're really only looking for the history of a particular player, Cot's Baseball Contracts is hard to beat.
