ruby-baseball-stats

A ruby gem that takes a couple CSVs and does a bit of numbers crunching to generate a few statistics.

How To Install

First, the gem depends on a few other libraries:

Active Record
SQLite3
RSpec (only needed if running the tests from source) If you already have those, great, just install the gem and go. If not, there's a Gemfile in the source you can use with Bundler to get all the needed dependencies. Alternately, just install the gems individually, that works too. ### Installing The Gem Just like any other local gem: sudo gem install bstats-1.0.0.gem ## Running The Script It comes pre-loaded with the stats and players needed to determine the stat winners, so after installing you can just run bstats from anywhere and see the results. ### Loading New Data To load in new player and statistical data, run sudo bstats import from a directory containing the 'Master-small.csv' and 'Batting-07-12.csv' files.

Import needs work: ** Move DB out of /Library/Ruby/Gems into user writable space so that 'sudo' isn't needed to write to it ** Allow more dynamic command line management, like filenames (OptionParser)
Data model addresses immediate requirements only, could be broken out for more granular and performant data analysis
