R Bloggers posts a Sabermetric article

For someone just starting out in either R or Sabermetrics Pitch F/X is a great way to get into the hobby. This post has some simple code that produces interesting images of relevant data. My first introduction to R and Sabermetrics was the Baseball Hacks book and it spurred my interest in both. I also think some of the more interesting data publicly available is the Pitch F/X data because it is performance based data as opposed to results based data typical in baseball. Although I wish they would make the Hit F/X data and the Trackman data available. 

I am working on putting together a Kaggle competition with a sabermetrics theme with Anthony Goldbloom and others. If there is anyone out there who has a suggestion on what would be good to be able to predict I would love to hear from you. I looked at using the retrosheet or MLBAM data for the dataset or anything that includes the Pitch F/X data. I would also appreciate any other recommendations on where to get the data for the contest.
