What happened with Bertans and Holmes seemed like a breath of fresh air during that last draft. I can't recall that kind of thing ever happening with Donnie. This most recent FO seems better equipped to find future picks. Our position is still very thin of course, but I'm perhaps more optimistic now than I was a few years ago.
Kinda makes the Cuban and Analytics thing seem like a lie.
Im not into analytics...but I assume if you have a staff of analytics guys, ideas like the one you mentioned would be a regular thing.
I watched an hour long interview with Cuban about a year and a half ago...some interesting tidbits...he talked about how in the 90's most of the players smoked weed but now hardly any of the youngsters smoke weed...they are more business minded so to speak. But the interview came to analytics and Cuban was saying that most of the best businesses in the World are run by math guys.
Just seems like he has been operating with a short staffed math department, imo.
