Phillies might hire a stat head

I guess Ruben's "gut feelings" aren't getting enough done for player development. You would hope a MLB team in 2013 would already have a couple of people who can read and understand statistics, but I guess not the Phillies.

What is that going to do except spend more money that provides more data brain-dead is going to ignore just like he has ignored every other logical bit of information in making the most disasterous decisions in one season that GM could possibly make!!!

A stat head would definitely help. My next question is Who are these people that are interviewing Ruben Amaro all the time? What an awful assignment.

I was surprised to learn some time ago that while other organizations were using computer analysis, the Phillies were still doing it the old fashioned way. Let's get that guy from Moneyball.

He is employed by the Boston Red Socks jvett.

Yea, after Billy Bean and Money ball, that dude signed for a tidy sum of cash and Boston has been pretty darn good periennally!!
