“What do you think about James’s new method of evaluating teams on paper?”
A reader asked the above, who added “He seems to be a bit edgy these days when questioned.”. When I asked him to provide a reference, the reader replied that James said:
To those of you who are hung up on the Aparicio/Mantle type of issues, let me point out what you are missing. What you are missing is, everybody already knows that. What you are pointing out to us is deafeningly obvious, and everybody except you has already got it. I mean, I spent pages and pages in the opening article talking about the failings and limitations of my system, pointing out case after case in which my system failed for one reason or another. What exactly did you think was the point of that?
I’m no longer a bjo subscriber, so it seems I’m missing out on something. Feel free for you guys to post your thoughts, quotes, analysis, etc, and I’ll chime in as appropriate.
