So, you have a goal which is good. There is a country-wide market for how many sabermetricians? 20? 40? I might keep your goal but look at other areas where the skills could be more widely used just in case.
Baseball Prospectus is an annual publication and web site[5] produced by a group of sabermetricians who originally met over the Internet. Several Baseball Prospectus authors have invented or improved upon widely relied upon sabermetric measures and techniques. The website publishes analytical articles as well as advanced statistics and projections for individuals and teams. This group also publishes other books that use and seek to popularize sabermetric techniques, including most recently Baseball Between the Numbers (2006) (ISBN 0-465-00596-9).
Recently, BP’s long-time team member Keith Woolner (known for his development of VORP) was hired as an assistant to the general manager of the Cleveland Indians.
The Hardball Times is a website[6] as well as an annual volume that evaluates the preceding major league season and presents original research articles on various sabermetric topics. The website also publishes original research on baseball. It demonstrates and promotes the use of graphs and charts.
