Not trolling, watch it for yourself and form your own opinion.

Oh lil guy will watch it alright...a Billy Beane type GM? He's watching that PC without pants

[QB Eagles]

I mean what the farg do you expect... it's an Ivy League businessman running a department in a multibillion dollar organization. He's not gonna be Tommy Lasorda. All sports are going that way but baseball is already there.

It is what it is. I just know how badly Mr mds wanted one in the GM seat

"It's a critical piece of the puzzle," Klentak said about analytics. "I try to create and strike balance in everything that I do and accordingly we'll try to strike balance in everything that we do. The Phillies have a long and proud history, particularly recent history, that was the result of some excellent evaluations and scouting. I don't want to lose that. That is something we're going to continue to reinforce and utilize at every turn. But we also need to make sure we are gathering and utilizing all of the information at our disposal. The real challenge is taking all of that information -- and it is a ton -- and combining it and synthesizing it and figuring out how that works into our process and making decisions accordingly. But let there be no doubt, we will be at the forefront of every single one of those areas, and we will strive to be the best in every one of those areas and have the best information."

Now I'm going to cry.  That was the best Halloween of my life.  I was still on a high, watched the parade, World F'ing Champions, crazy neighborhood Halloween party.  Let's do it again in 20 years!
