Congratulations to Craig Edwards, who moves from FanGraphs to do analytic research for the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA).

“Craig has demonstrated a keen ability to identify and evaluate both on-field and economic trends in our industry,” Executive Director Tony Clark said. “He’ll take an integral role in supporting our mission to advance and protect Players’ rights, particularly as we approach negotiations for a new Basic Agreement.”

Good. I hope Craig makes a good case for earlier free agency, or even universal free agency.
