Phil Birnbaum wonders why teams don’t hire more sabermetricians:
To me, none of these reasons seem to be enough. For #5, for instance, you could just ask Tom Tango. I’d hire anyone Tango recommended … although, I guess I needed to know in the first place that Tango was someone to trust.
Anyway … for, say, $200,000 a year, you could hire three intelligent, inquisitive sabermetricians, and, among all three, they’d only have to give you ONE RUN A YEAR in extra intelligence to make the hiring worthwhile. Is there something wrong with my logic? Why doesn’t every team have two or three Gregs working away?
