Bill James Interviews

Here are two interviews of Bill James I've noticed in recent days. Both interesting.

Chat with baseball writer Bill James
"Live" with TAE - Bill James

One of the interesting points James makes is that he would advocate changing the walk rule to allow the offense to refuse a walk and a batter if walked twice advances directly to second forcing any runners two bases as well. Personally, I doubt very much that this would ever happen because baseball, being in part a historical institution, will tend towards conservatism. Of course, the DH was almost as radical a change.
