Interview:

SH: You’ve talked about having a distinct vision of where things should go from here in the application of the science of baseball – a vision that may be too radical for the baseball establishment at this time.  Could you give us a short summary of what that vision entails?

CRW: I usually write about 40-50 pages when a team asks about this, but I can do “short” in talking about a couple aspects of that vision without getting into details. One is that an organization should institutionalize a process for the development of better ideas and working on their implementation. We have organized the scouting of players and the development of players. We should take a small part of the budget and organize the scouting of ideas and their development. It’s really no different than what other businesses have done very well with in creating a department of research and development. R&D can benefit from direction and organization like anything else.
