      Tonight on Sports Central on WGN Radio I spoke with Baseball Statistician Bill James, a.k.a. the guru of Sabermetrics.&nbsp; We went through a number of different topics including his thoughts on the value of Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano, and the less traditional statistics used by James and his staff when evaluating talent for the Boston Red Sox.&nbsp; Check this out below.&nbsp; Many of you stat guys will be interested by James' philosophy on desirable players.<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-audio" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/david-kaplan-chicago-sports/Kap%20Interviews%20Bill%20James.mp3">Kap Interviews Bill James.mp3</a></span>&nbsp;&nbsp; <div><br /></div>

        <![CDATA[<p>Fascinating interview, I could listen to this stuff for the entire two-hour show.  Do the Cubs have someone like this on the staff and if not, why?  This kind of analysis is crucial and I often doubt if Hendry and Piniella really get it.  I have not heard them acknowledge that the main reason for the decreased run production is because our OBP dropped back to the historically pathetic levels of Cubs teams. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Is that seriously how you think "douche" is spelled?</p>

<p>Also, in response to "Cubs W" the Cubs did hire Chuck Wasserstrom to fill some sort of statistical analysis role, which is about as progressive as hiring Tammy Duckworth as a dance instructor.</p>]]>
