While I have your attention, I’d like to say a few words about the production of the PECOTAs this year. I guess I don’t have to tell you that I’m filling some pretty big shoes here–Nate Silver is probably the most famous sabermetrician not named Bill James, and PECOTA is where Nate made his biggest mark in our community. And so I’m building on his work–and work by people like Clay Davenport and Gary Huckabay, too. I am, as they say, standing on the shoulders of giants. (In big shoes, apparently–this is what I get for mixing my metaphors.) So I owe them, and others I’ve probably neglected to mention, my deepest thanks.
