You know how that goes – ‘intelligent’ means that he agrees with me; ‘brilliant’ means that I agree with him but I never would have thought of it myself.” Bill James Senior Baseball Advisor Boston Red Sox	I wrote the book The Diamond Appraised (Simon & Shuster) roughly 20 years ago, and I’ve often been asked if I would do another such book. This is as close as I will get to doing a “Diamond Re-Appraised.” The current audience of The Diamond Appraised column is a small eclectic mix. It ranges from the self-described “typical baseball fan” to members of the media (print, radio, and TV are all represented), and both former and current baseball executives. There are even players, both current and retired. The attraction of the column is the experience and quality of thought behind it. I spent 21 years in major league baseball pioneering a more scientific approach to the game. It has been a few years since making the decision to leave that aspect of my career, but I more than keep up enough with the game to maintain relevance for what I write about. One former GM sent me a kind note commenting on something I wrote back in mid-July and said, “This type of work is the very reason you should be involved with a Major League team today.” I am not going back to that prior career; I leave that to the next generation, but I still care very much about the game, and find it interesting and fun. The Diamond Appraised baseball column is not your typical sports column in that it has no set schedule and is not restricted by minimum or maximum column length. I don’t force myself to write something because a deadline requires it, nor do I stretch something out to fill “white space.” When I condense something, it is done out of regard for the value of brevity suitable to the general reader, and not because I have to keep it under a specific length. I appreciate your stopping by. I hope you have time to look at some of the samples. If you have a question, go to FAQ (frequently asked questions).
