Sabermetric Projections in Baseball (MLB)

Mathematics and Baseball, "What is the Correlation?" one must ask. The answer is quite simple as the ever-increasing proliferation of IVY League Grads align MLB Front Officies alludes to the simple fact that Baseball is the leader in quantifiabilty among Professional Sports. "Sabermetics" as it's called, is simply advanced stats that help front officies determine the true value of a player hence the monetary obligations that should be given. Essentially, I take a deep dive into the Calculus behind these Projections, to determine which statistics truly show the value of a player and which do not. Basically, I attempt to determine the best Sabermetric Projection Models, that use Calculus, in a vast world of Information.
