About Dan »

Dan is a recent graduate of the University of Chicago with an A.B. in political science. He is currently an intern with Baseball Prospectus and is endlessly interested by the ongoing debate about the utility of Quality Starts as a metric. He hopes to begin a position in Player Evaluation and Development this winter, bringing his Sabermetric perspective and vast analytical toolbox to the major leagues.

Failing that, Dan has a chance to pursue journalism further, having accepted an offer of admission at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. The jury is still out on whether he'll attempt to cover politics or sports.
