Every Major sport, every major team ranked.

I wonder what ANALysis told the Hawks to trade Leddy and keep some of the older garbage on the roster. Did it spit out the perfect salary for Bickell?

One team that seems to revel in its reputation as stat-agnostic is the Chicago White Sox. That stems in part from the style of Sox executive VP Kenny Williams, who served as general manager from 2000 to 2012 and has expressed his preference for old-school ways over sabermetrics. On the other hand, Rick Hahn, promoted to GM in 2012, takes a friendlier view of analytics.

The man at the center of the White Sox's analytics operation is Dan Fabian, who describes himself as a "stathead" and is well-respected within the industry (but just pretty good at baseball trivia). He has overseen the development of the White Sox Scouting Portal and has recently brought on Dan Strittmatter, a former math major at Notre Dame, to coordinate baseball information.

But in contrast to the Cubs across town, led by Theo Epstein and new manager Joe Maddon, the White Sox are stuck in neutral, with no signs they're doing anything innovative.

? "with no signs they're doing anything innovative."

Maybe not innovative in a stats sense, but they just had the best off season of any team. In two years, Hahn has remade this roster with some terrific signings and an emphasis on getting good value. You to admire what he has been able to do with Abreu being the most notable among many good pick-ups.

I know what you're doing. You're trying to bait Frank. :)


I have to stop now because I need to restrain my praise for the Sox lest it give us Cubs fans an even worse name around here.

Seems the Sox are not stuck in neutral but are in a hybrid strategy.

If the Sixers and the Astros are your models for the modern way to run a franchise, you may want to try something else.

So the stat people are now ranking themselves on how good they are at using stats? :lol:
