    This is impossible. The Reds were said by some last summer to be one of those teams that don't use statistical analysis.

    Everyone uses it. Not everyone uses it properly.

    I am not saying the Reds do or don't use it properly. I have no clue.

    Of course they do although using it "properly" is highly subjective.

    But there were actually people on here saying they didn't think the Reds used statistical analysis.

    Who argued the Reds completely ignored statistics?
    "This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner

    Does it matter who?

    The people that argued that know who they are. I'm not trying to call anyone out specifically.

    Actually, this job mainly consists of showing Jocketty and Baker how to turn on their Commodore 64's and join one of many AOL baseball chat rooms

    As far as I'm concerned, nobody has been able to make a better computer baseball game. Micro League Baseball rules!

    It's actually just a kindle version of "The Book," co-authored by Dusty and Hank Aaron.

    I think the new hire will be assisting Dusty in making out gameday lineups.

    D'oh!
