[natepro]

1. How long have you been following baseball? Probably since about 1985.
2. Who are your favorite teams? Angels and Cardinals. The first cause I grew up watching them, the second because I live in The Lou now and my girlfriend is a big Cardinals fan.
3. Are you familiar with sabermetrics? Yup.
4. What do you want to learn about sabermetrics? I'd like to learn how to figure out things like a player's WAR on my own. I know there have been threads started, I've mostly just been too lazy to take the time with them. But, currently I rely on places like Fangraphs and StatCorner to give me what I'm looking for.
5. Anything else you would like to learn about, or any suggestions? If you're new here and looking to learn, have an open mind. Coming in talking about how RBI is the best stat around and making cracks about how we all live in our mother's basement (I live in my grandmother's, thank you) isn't going to help anyone.
