After a week long trip to Los Angeles and then Phoenix for the SABR Analytics Conference, I'm finally back home and ready to get back into the swing of things, starting with Sabersphere. We've got a good collection of links for you today, ranging from an attempt to project market value for WAR to a response to the excessive bunting in the WBC. I hope you enjoy, and have a fantastic Tuesday.
