Guy Cresson

I am college student from New Orleans, attending LSU in the fall. I became an A's fan after visiting the Bay Area and later reading Moneyball. Interested in the finance of baseball and advanced analytics, I prefer writing on "big-picture" analysis as well as trade possibilities, prospects, contract extensions, etc. I try to incorporate both new-age statistics and traditional baseball knowledge into my work.Championships are won in the front office. Trust the process.
