I'll also check out fangraphs, and I'm already a bit accustomed with baseball reference so that should help. Would you guys reccomend getting 2k11 on the cheap or waiting for 2k12? My main concern would be potentially out of date rosters (though I guess they'd be pretty precise next to free agents who signed elsewhere this offseason). I have a 360, which is too bad because I've heard The Show is definitely the best in the business, and I've heard mixed opinions on the 2k series, but I guess thats my only option. The fantasy league/video game suggestions are something I will definitely look into, I have experienced their teaching ability firsthand with hockey and football. Nice to see yet another pro sports subreddit with a community that puts r/nba to shame. Thanks.ĮDIT: Wow, was expecting some good feedback but not to this magnitude. Any guidance you guys could give me would be great, links, books, or just your own pointers. I'm talking the difference between pitches, how to play in different situations, the big names, the CBA, and maybe most importantly stats (I understand stats are used to analyze baseball more than any other pro sport).

Naming them the 26th and eighth best players in league history, respectively, is yet another example of the old baseball media guard clutching their pearls at any semblance of controversy, or even worse, the loaded “disrespecting the game” notion.Īltogether, 17 players who wore the Yankee uniform ended up on the list. A-Rod’s various drug scandals undoubtedly hurt him in these rankings, but for many baseball fans (including this writer), he and Bonds were the most talented players they’ve ever seen. A-Rod and his 26th overall ranking nudge Jeter down the list just like the Yankees should have nudged Jeter to third base when they traded for the notorious baseball villain. Alex Rodriguez was a better player than Jeter.
