Sabremetrics Coming To Basketball, or At Least the Celtics
When I heard Michael Lewis give a book talk while he was promoting 'the Blind Side', Lewis mentioned that NFL and NBA teams had contacted him about his book. While this article makes it sound like baseball teams are rushing on the stat bandwagon, Lewis said he hadn't heard much from baseball teams.
My guess would be that several teams are getting into sabremetrics, but only a handful are true believers.
