Timmy U Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Wow. That graph confirms so much. The trend in every sport is to hire as many extra coaches and analysts as humanly possible. Sox hand out some iPads and let players fend for themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one of them is definitely Shelly Duncan and the long experience and skill that earned him the job totally offsets some of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Duncan will work in concert with Dan Fabian, Matt Koenig and Daniel Zien in a baseball operations department that has beefed up its analytics, ...pretty sure the other was a young woman that either was an intern or full hire. https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2021/1/13/22229032/white-sox-shelley-duncan-relishing-new-role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT is efficiency. Another way to spin the stats is to look at wins per analytics staffer. How's THAT for advanced analytics!

wegner Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I recently watched Trouble With The Curve (well technically my wife watched it while I followed the Soxtalk gamethread but I was in the same room) and that movie proved that all you egghead numbers guys don't know diddly squat about baseball. At least I think that was what it was about. My wife was also switching back and forth from that movie to Draft Day so I might have lost some of the context. All I know is that this kid had a great curveball and they brought him in to embarrass the other kid that they had just drafted in the 1st round. Also, it's not easy being a scout, or GM, or lawyer who hates being a lawyer. Remember that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominikk85 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 The analytics staff thing is probably also due to jerry, if hahn signed too many analytics guys jerry probably will come into his office and ask him why he is paying those nerds:).

This. I’d love to hire people to purposely never listen to. Sounds really funny and a fun way to burn cash if you’re a billionaire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
