Don't flatter yourself. We dorks would never allow a nerd like you to sit at our lunch table!

There you go selling yourself short again. You are both a full-blown dork and a full-blown nerd.

What about us geeks?

I mostly agree w/ Tango in this argument, fwiw.

Also, from the linked thread in the linked bit:

Sal: "Tango will likely never catch the outliers since that method is more conservative (but he’s not really trying to!). And the other method will end up overestimating the true talent of a lot of players with limited data."
I've railed against Oliver projection method under discussion here once or thrice on this site for precisely this reason - I lean toward the former camp).

I'm also a big proponent of using scouting data in projection setting, as he (Tango) mentions here.

Dan's blurb has turned up at PB under SABR endorsements.

It's only fair, really - we'll all rag on mainstream media guys when they say something stupid.
