You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Maybe I didn’t always pay close enough attention, but my biggest takeaways are that I want to know the most normal name as well as the missing sentence of the final story. Bah.

Was Kiley able to hide how big of a douche he is when he interviewed with Fangraphs, or did they just go ahead and hire him anyway?

It’s always funny to see the myriad ways in which envy manifests itself.

Being a semi-douchey bro does not negate you from doing great work.

Um what, Kiley doesn’t come across as douchey to me. I find both he and Carson to be quite likeable.

The NY Times profiled Los Roques archipelago in December 2006. It has probably avoided becoming swamped with yanqui tourists for the same reason that yanqui baseball scouts no longer want to go to Venezuela.
