Minor Development
Joanna Hicks e-mails:
I wanted to let you know that there is an interview with Ben Cherington at Red Sox Nation here that I thought you might find interesting. http://www.redsoxnation.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=12293
Any idea how internal player ranking systems that Ben alludes to but declines to describe in detail work?
I don't know anything about their internal ranking system. However, it's not hard to guess that they have a way of projecting minor league accomplishments into major leageu equivalencies. Bill James has been working on that for years. And I'd also bet they have a way of measuring the value of every event in a game, much like the Athletics.
It's a very good interview. Be sure to take a look.
