A few announcements about fixes for and changes to our statistical offerings.
From time to time—if not at all times—organizations must examine their own operations and ask some difficult questions.
The answers often reveal a range of things done right and things done wrong. Healthy organizations can handle those answers in more than one way—there are many routes to success, but even more to failure—but one hallmark of organizational integrity, to borrow from James Collins, is looking in the mirror when assigning blame and out the window when giving praise.
We are happy to announce we now have a name for the new podcast coming this April with Jason Parks & Mike Ferrin. The name...
Fringe-Average
Two separate people came up with the podcast name so they will both receive lifetime subscriptions to Baseball Prospectus. Their names will be announced soon. Congratulations!

BP rolls out its expanded and enhanced fantasy coverage for 2013.
Last week we kicked off another season of fantasy baseball coverage here at Baseball Prospectus. We rolled out all the usual highly anticipated products, such as PECOTA, PFM, and updated Depth Charts. And later in the week, Rob McQuown’s brainchild, the Scoresheet Draft Aid, made its appearance for a second season here at BP. But that wasn’t all. We also introduced our preseason positional rankings series and saw debutarticles from two new fantasy writers here at Baseball Prospectus. It was a good start to the new season, but it was just that, a start.
In 2013 we plan to expand and enhance our fantasy coverage to include a number of new writers, guests, and features. Jason Collette, Paul Sporer, Josh Shepardson, Rob McQuown, and Paul Singman all return to the team from last year, while Mike Gianella and Bret Sayre begin their first year at BP, bringing plenty of fantasy baseball experience with them.
