Comments on: Dan Leatherman Comparisons http://www.sportsagentblog.com/2008/10/14/dan-leatherman-comparisons/ A blog for sports agents: Discussing sports business news, Sports Law, and other interesting sports related material Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:32:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Darren Heitner http://www.sportsagentblog.com/2008/10/14/dan-leatherman-comparisons/comment-page-1/#comment-98397 Darren Heitner Tue, 14 Oct 2008 22:27:57 +0000 http://www.sportsagentblog.com/?p=2539#comment-98397 This is merely an example of the sheets that we are putting together for Dan. Thanks for the link, I will go ahead and take a look at it. I appreciate your comments and contributions as of late. The goals in the numbers are to convince Washington to pay Dan what he deserves and/or to show other teams his value and why they should potentially consider adding him to their rosters (after the mandatory 5 days post-World Series). $1,500 may be an average contract for a Minor League player. Our stance is that Dan's performance has shown that he is above average. This is merely an example of the sheets that we are putting together for Dan.

I think this type of analysis it what an agent's main role should be (especially for minor league players who do not get much marketing). I also think that you can break down the numbers even more. What are the key statistics for a relief pitcher like Leatherman? For example, can you caculate inherited runners scored and run differential? Can you gather helpful info from this link: http://www.minorleaguesplits.com/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?pl=504093 Just trying to help and keep people talking about what agents really do. What are you goals in the numbers? Does it impact what a team would be willing to pay him or does it simply show a team that they should sign him? Don't most minor league players sign that National Association contract or just get paid close to $1,500 a month? Thanks. Thanks for posting this.
