| '''Aaron Gleeman''' is the Senior Baseball Editor at Rotoworld and owner of a popular blog, aarongleeman.com. He also currently writes for Rotoworld and NBC Sports. He was the co-founder and main operator of the baseball statistics website, ''The Hardball Times'' before leaving to write for NBC Sports. In 2006, Gleeman was featured in a short profile in [[Sports Illustrated]].<ref name="SI">{{cite news |first = Albert|last = Chen |url = http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1110303/index.htm |title = Cyberscribe: How a Twins Nut and Wannabe Journalist Found his Niche |publisher = [[Sports Illustrated]] |date = 2006-03-27| accessdate = 2009-03-25}}</ref> | |

| ==Biography==
| |
| Gleeman is a graduate of [[Highland Park High School (Minnesota)|Highland Park High School]] in [[St. Paul, MN]]. After high school, he attended the [[University of Minnesota]] as a [[journalism]] major. However, the [[Minnesota Daily]] did not hire him as a staff writer, despite annual attempts (although they did give him one freelance story which ran on the Daily website) and Gleeman eventually dropped out of the University without obtaining his degree.

| | |
| On November 25, 2003, Gleeman used his blog to introduce a new statistic called Gleeman Production Average.<ref name="GPA">{{cite news |first = Aaron|last = Gleeman |url = http://www.aarongleeman.com/2003_11_23_baseballblog_archive.html#106974007971391611 |title = Introducing GPA |date = 2003-11-25| accessdate = 2009-03-25}}</ref> The name was later changed to [[Gross Production Average]] to make it more palatable. The formula is
| |
| | |
| :<math>GPA = {(1.8\times OBP)+SLG\over 4}</math>
| |
| | |
| where OBP is [[on-base percentage]] and SLG is [[slugging percentage]]. The result is a number that resembles a batting average but reflects the player's ability to avoid outs and hit for power.
