Great read. It's my opinion that the advancement in statistical analysis will make dinosaurs(or already has) out of some people quickly (cough Terry Ryan, Ron Gardenhire cough).

Incapable and disinclined are two different things. You can lead a horse to water...

It would be a hoot to enter Tubby's line change substitutions into Cannon's computer just to see if it would start smoking.

This is definitely the way sports is going. For someone to stubbornly stick to methods that don't work, flying in the face of numerical and statistical evidence, they'd have to be a dinosaur.
