A few more Cubs notes from the 2018 Bill James Handbook

A couple of weeks ago, I brought you the projections made for Cubs hitters for 2018 in the Bill James Handbook.

That’s not all you can find in the James handbook, though. In addition to projections and a very long essay (James called it “the longest article in the thirty-year history of this book”) about the Hall of Fame, the handbook contains the complete major-league career record of every active player in 2017, as well as essays and leaderboards on all sorts of topics.
