The 2008 Scouting Report, By The Fans, For The Fans

For the sixth year in a row, I am once again asking for hardcore baseball fans to participate in the annual Scouting Report project, in which you evaluate the fielding characteristics of players on your team. If you have a few minutes, please drop by and evaluate your team.

UPDATE: If you entered data between the start of the poll 2 days ago and Aug 20, Wed, 2pm ET, please re-enter your data for this player only: McLouth, Nate . I apologize for the inconvenience.

if you haven't voted, please do.

Tom’s been getting about 2000 votes total per season, and so far only FIVE Pirates fans have participated. This is an invaluable resource, and it would be great to have significantly more first-hand opinions on the Pirates fielders. And hey, it might even help get the crappy ones moved out of town.

Here are some cool ways the results can be viewed (2007 data):

2007 Pirates team ratings
Jack Wilson’s most similar players
Rankings by position

Eventually, there will be player pages with data across all seasons available for each player.
