Be Jolly stats users
This is a question solely for those readers who are subscribers to Bill James Online:
Virtually the only place I go is the “Hey Bill” section. It’s the closest thing to a blog there. I’ll go to the articles when there’s a new one, but I rarely revisit; the lack of a date-based commenting system makes it pointless to spend any time to see if there’s a new comment. So, I have given up on that. And, I’ve also given up on Reader Posts. All the other stuff is not for me.
So, that leaves me with the Statistics page:
http://www.billjamesonline.net/Statistics1.aspx
I’ve gone there a few times, and have come away, frankly, disappointed. My initial impressions of each of those profiles have been less than positive. And the navigation is terrible (10 years behind the times). You’d think everyone would follow the b-r.com model. Even “old” Retrosheet has everything linked.
However, perhaps I’m missing something. So, what Statistics profile are you using, and why are you using it?
