Could someone here at Primer just state the policy that you're not only not going to link to BP articles, free or not, you're not even going to name those guys unless you can bash them or get free publicity? It's as disgraceful as the Akbar and Piazza posts. In a thread that regularly cites BP's people and stats, it's disingenuous not to credit them.
And as non-sabermetric as Carroll's stuff is on the injury side, his bringing it out for open discussion has to be considered a pretty positive advance. Whoever figures out how to do it objectively will be the Bill James of the field while Carroll will probably be remembered only by the purists and Pete Rose fans.
