I for one never use this site and I'd much rather see links to either b-ref or fangraphs. Just my two cents.

We don't use Baseball Reference because they don't put minor and major league stats on the same page.

I, for one, don't think Fangraphs provides more information than Baseball Cube does. It has more stats but less biographical information. We might discuss internally. A big part of it is that this is how we've always done it, honestly.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC

We all go to the other ones already.
