“Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.”

If you've been an "analytics" guy since the 80's, which is 30+ years, then when are you going to start showing the analytics to back up your positions? Every analytics member on here usually does make that effort. Not seeing it from you. Just the claim you are. You throw out positions and expect everyone to simply accept it as fact, no argument. Even an analytics "novice" like me can blow you out of the water.
So until you do - I'm not wasting my time with you.

Somehow the Reds have managed to find their way back into last place.
"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
I "hope" the Reds start winning some more damn games again.

I "hope" they are already working the phones to unload half the roster. Probably should wait till after the break to pull the trigger, but I hope they're looking for pieces to help next year.

Things will pick up with all the home games upcoming, they usually score more runs at home. They still are likely to emerge out of the 90 loss abyss, so that's a positive. Reds are headed in the right direction, which would have been hard to say in 2015-18. So there is hope.
