Rob Neyer, baseball columnist for ESPN.com and a James protege has championed sabermetrics since the 1980s and is considered among the cream of the new generation of sportswriters. Get the scoop on everything from what makes the legends great, to who's overrated and why, to which teams and players are the ones to watch in 2008 and beyond.
