Article: Twins Pitching Woes: 2013 and 2014
Jack Goin replied to Thrylos's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Why should I buy you a beer for finally realizing we use stats in personnel decisions more than you realized? I think you owe me a beer. I drink Leinie's.- 10 replies

You don't think we use Tony's Cuban ties?
-
Tony did have a player development position after he was done playing. He was also a major league hitting coach for awhile and works with hitters ever home game.
-
Riccardo isn't hispanic and Quade used to be a big league manager.
-
Gene Glynn speaks Spanish. Eddie does not.
-
No, I won't comment. I love my job. I had a big long rant that I just deleted so I wouldn't regret posting it somewhere down the line.
-
You guys are allowed to go out in public? I thought you couldn't leave your mom's basement?
-
[in response to a joke since deleted...] Always has to be one guy who ruins it for everyone else. That is the only joke you could come up with ?

Define evaluate.

Thanks but it's pretty limited.

Both sides bring suggestions. I talk with our Major League staff periodically about data they want/need and try to get that to them. I talk to our Director of Pro Scouting about everyday, sometimes twice per day. We discuss a variety of topics including analytics, scouting philosophies, how to incorporate the two. Terry asks my opinion on players from a statistical viewpoint. Brad Steil our Director of Minor League asks me for various projects. Sometimes we just do research we are interested in.
-
Doing my best to do the things mentioned above like any scout would do.
-
No.
-
Weighing it is a pretty difficult thing to do. I would say it's impossible to do 50/50 because it's human nature to lean a little more one way or the other. I love scouting and I'm not able to get out as much as I would like. There is valuable info in scouting reports that you can use in the analytics process. There is just so much info available today with Pitch f/x, TrackMan, Statcast, advance scouting reports, etc. St. Louis does a good job of combining it. Oakland does a good job. The Yankees do a good job. The Spurs do a really good job combining the two types of data. I'm not familiar with Out of The Park baseball.

Anyone have any food recommendations? Also, include where it is located in the ballpark. I don't know my way around too well.
-
ill scout the Futures Game on Sunday and after that spend some time at HR Derby with my dad and go the game with my family on Tues. I haven't watched a game with my family ever.
-
I thought that was really funny. What kind of dumb ass member of a front office jumps into a discussion board?
-
I would think many teams try as best they can currently. Platooning is probably an example of that. The new system might just make it easier and more accurate.
-
Trades are difficult to put together for a lot of reasons and there is usually a lot of back and forth. It sucks what happened to them and I'm glad we weren't mentioned in anything.
-
Go ahead. Ask away.
-
Like I said last time, Terry has answered that questions enough since 2002.
-
So I can answer more questions about why we non-tendered David Ortiz?
-
Isn't that what interns are for?
-
In all seriousness, I don't know Brock so he may or may not "fit in". But I guarantee your perception of our Baseball Ops staff isn't quite what you believe it to be.
-
Fitting in isn't an issue. Our team is locked in a secret part of Target Field and given food and water only at lunch. We are allowed out in the "yard" one hour per day and not allowed to speak with the other Baseball Ops staff members.
