YAY!

I’ve been suggesting you reach out to them, and by golly it happened!

I haven’t yet read your post, so you may explain how this happened, but if not I’d love to get the story. congratulations!

I had a post written out blaming you but wasn''t sure you'd know I was joking.

I’m not going to talk in detail about the process for obvious reasons, but I’ll say that I was being honest on here when I said I wasn’t looking for a job.

That's awesome. I sorta wonder if that Shawn Armstrong tweet had something to do with it. You nailed his entire offseason plan just based on pure scouting/analysis. If something like that did raise some eyebrows at the Warehouse, then we should feel very good about the direction the Warehouse is going.

I had a feeling this was going to happen.

All one has to do is see what you put out on the Rule 5 guys to know that you can bring valuable insight. Most people cannot scout a player, evaluate data and use that combination of inputs to project specific coaching changes that could help a guy reach a new level. I haven't seen anything like it online, and I say that with full respect to a few other guys in particular who I think are very good at what they do.

    • I just got power on in Savannah, I hope those we have not heard from are well.  
    • I think the point about Gunnar being left handed does swing this in his favor, if it’s an Os specific question. No sense in having your main stud player hitting warning track lasers that would be HRs in 29 other ballparks, over and over again. We may find out exactly how frustrating that is when it comes to Mayo the next couple years  Hopefully we find out! As for the speed, Witt is of course faster. But Gunnar had 20+ stolen bases himself this year. Not like he’s slogging around out there. And Gunnar is a fantastic baserunner overall   I think the defense is closer than people think too. Easy to be biased negatively because Gunnar struggled for a bit there. But there’s a reason we were all so surprised by that - he’s been rock solid otherwise.    Lastly if we had Witt, we wouldn’t have Adley.  Which still matters despite his tough second half. That element (which I realize isn’t necessarily part of the question) makes it a complete no-brainer. 
    • I'm sure they had to hold a certain number of decent seats back for MLB and corporate sponsors for the playoffs.
    • Maybe a groundball back to Cano.  
    • They've upped the prices back to $77. They've also opened up a lot more sections for purchase. I found this very frustrating when I went to a game a few weeks ago. Many sections appeared sold out and then they added seats for purchase a couple of weeks before the game. Perhaps it has to do with season ticket holders deciding to not go to the game and then the tickets become available?
    • I reckon it’s because Bowman is a contact guy. I know his strikeout rate was 8 with the O’s, but historically he’s been more of a 7 SO/9, so Selby does bring more of the strikeout potential. Although, ideally, you don’t want either of those guys pitching in the playoffs. But hey, maybe Selby ends up being That Guy for us.
    • I know you know, but we gotta adjust from just to cover innings over 162 to playoff time. We won’t need more than Burnes, Eflin, Coloumbe, Cano, and Dominguez. Maybe one of Akin/Perez.
