Teaching sabermetrics at school

By Tangotiger, 02:48 PM

Jim Albert is a professor involved in sabermetrics.  We’ve probably brought him up around here once or twice.  Anyway, he has a book that he uses to teach.  So, that links gives you his Amazon book (pricey for us, but standard for students at the mercy of supply/demand).  He’s got lots of stuff on his site that you can download or read.  Here’s sample from his book. 

I remember reading his career trajectory paper when it came out, and I offered unsolicited peer review.  The main issue I had with that paper is when he started comparing individual players, without adjusting for the year’s run environment.  Otherwise, it was a pretty good read.  If there is anything else that strikes your interest in any of his links, please post a link and comment.
