It probably doesn't need repeating here, but for whom the name doesn't ring a bell, he's the guy who invented the formula for DIPS (Defense Independent Pitching Statistics) ERA, which had previously been discussed in this old thread: http://www.baseballslant.com/forums/...her-april.html

Long story short, he's out of baseball as DIPS was his one-hit wonder, and to support himself he now analyzes soccer for an unnamed European club.

Not that I'm a fan of his or anything, except to say my favorite chapter of Moneyball is when his discovery inspired the Oakland A's to steal Chad Bradford from the White Sox.
