Bill James on Dennis Miller
Bill James was on the very funny Dennis Miller show (on CNBC) today. He was introduced by the comiedian as "The Godfather of Fantasy Baseball," which is a little like calling John Kerry a mere political activist. Anyway, here are a few of the better moments in the short interview:
- When asked what he looks at first when evaluating players he said, "First you look at a players defensive contribution. Then his ability to get on base." No surprises there of course.
- When asked about Nomar's current state of mind he said, "Nomar is one of the 10 greatest SS in the history of baseball." Then he admitted that he has never spoken to Nomar, so he couldn't comment on his mental state.
- He hasn't read Moneyball, because he's afraid it might give him a big head.
- Best quote of the day: "Joe Morgan is the greatest percentage player in history- now if we could only do something about his broadcasting."
