A GM openly talking about sabermetrics?

We are going to utilize several objective measures of player performance to evaluate and develop players. We’ll rely on the more traditional objective evaluations: OPS (on base percentage plus slugging percentage) . WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched). Runs Created. ERC (Component ERA). GB/FB (ground ball to fly ball ratio). K/9 (strikeouts per nine innings). K/BB (strikeouts to walks ratio). BB% etc. but we’ll also look to rely on some of the more recent variations: VORP (value over replacement player). Relative Performance. EqAve (equivalent add up). EqOBP (equivalent on base percentage). EqSLG (equivalent slugging percentage). BIP% (balls put into play percentage) wOBA (weighted on base average). Range Factor. PMR (probabilistic model of range) and Zone Rating.
Holy egest. change surface I don’t be at a lot of those. Huntington did point out that they’re going to believe on scouts too:
Way to go Neal. I will now be pulling for the Pirates to have some success more than I usually do. Their fanbase deserves better than what they’ve gotten and it would be great to see a GM who openly discusses sabermetrics succeed.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
