As suggested by commenter Homer's Bush, this is the first in what I’m hoping will be a series of
posts on advanced stats as they pertain to the Toronto Blue Jays. Because it’s
intended as an introduction, I’ll try to use each post to give the basics about
a handful of relevant stats, with some Jays-centric examples to provide some
perspective. I’m probably not the best person around to write a post
introducing you to advanced stats from a Jays’ perspective, but I was the first
one to say yes, so you’re stuck with me for now.
