From devising projection algorithms to tracking Coors Field performance, it could be both interesting and constructive to pool our resources and see what we can come up with. At the very least, this might be something fun for the off-season.
Thoughts?

Puh-lese. This is such an unsubstantiated remark it's almost funny, almost. Case in point - "Blah blah blah ZR is teh win blah blah blah". I've tried to explain to you why ZR does not work and is not even a statistic, but you won't listen because you're always right...about everything...all the time. I guess you got upset because I wouldn't listen to the Fantasy Baseball Cafe's resident genius.
I mean, I obviously don't have the benefit of all the modern day statistical knowledge that you have. I mean, ya know; your statistical background goes so deep that you clearly have a vast understanding on how to run statistical anaylsis with data points that have HUNDREDS of independent variables and very few consistent correlations. I mean, surely your statistical knowlege is vast and deep enough to draw conclusions contrary to what I've explained to you...isn't it?
...or maybe you're just a complete pud who parrots everything he hears from the BillJamesSchoolofBaseball and doesn't really understand one word of what he is talking about...I'm not sure.

Why don't you use some of that knowledge you claim to have to an advantage instead of flat-out denying a stat like ZR is more beneficial than mostly any out there, and certainly more accurate than sports writers' opinions?
Maybe you just like to watch baseball the old school way, or maybe you're just a bitter old man who was never good enough to actually paly the sport itself, I'm not sure...
