Sabermetricians rejoice! Brian Kenny finally gives Bill James his due for his role in the construction of the 2004 Red Sox in his new book. An excerpt courtesy of Sports on Earth is here:

That's a great piece (especially in relation to the Shaughnessy interview on BP and CHB's remarks about analytics). I think Kenny is absolutely correct in how little credit James's ideas and James himself have received for the amazing run the Sox have enjoyed over the most of the last 13 seasons.
