Fris asked me to start this in response to the thread in backwash discussing people being too intimidated to post on the main board. This thread will be the place to ask any and all questions about baseball from the basic stuff to how to use various stats to evaluate a player's performance to projecting a player's performance. Don't be afraid to ask something. Everyone here has something to learn about this game. Have at it.
