Proposed deletion of Evolution of baseball player evaluation


The article Evolution of baseball player evaluation has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * As the tags say, this is basically just a personal essay. Some basic statistical history that Baseball statistics covers, and then just a random personal essay with some general things listed as the only refs. For example: "In the 1990’s, if a baseball team spent a lot of money it won more often." sits completely unreferenced. First off if the poster read The Book on the Book he/she would see an excellent breakdown of the impact of payroll and team success and would see the 90s were perfectly normal by decades of historical precedent. Secondly, it's an incredibly casually written sentence without referencing.

This article is completely a personal essay without use. If someone wants to expand baseball statistics and split off History of statistics in baseball or something that's fine, but this article is no good.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
