I liked it, too. In fact, I put up a thread in the Social forum dedicated to knocking you off that high horse wearing a Manny Ramirez jersey.

Looking forward to this steve.
I'm glad you brought that up, and stated as you did. Too often we get into a stats vs scout argument, and there really is no argument. You need both, or at least you maximize your chances by using every tool available, and both are important tools.9. In any well-run organization there is a need for BOTH traditional assessment of tools AND innovative application of advanced statistics, probability theory, predictive modeling techniques, and data analytics. It is NOT a question of WHETHER to use scouting information it is a question of WHAT scouting data to use, and how to fit it into a comprehensive picture. Likewise it is NOT a question of WHETHER to use advanced statistical analysis it is a question of WHICH stats tell you what you need to know, which metrics augment and lead to a more complete picture, which data is reliable and valid.
