Bill James on Baseball!

We interviewed baseball guru and sabermetrician Bill James on our radio show today. It was a very fun conversation, with talk about the sac bunt, the proper role of the closer, why most free agents are over the hill, whether a four-man or five-man rotation is better, and much more, including a great question raised by a caller: Is the universal practice of having the catcher back up first base a good idea?
