Jeff Luhnow, VP Cardinals, speaks
Jeff does more interviews with more bloggers than any other front office person, I think. Funny how, even though he worked with Mitchel for a couple of years, he doesn’t call him by his name:
Q: Rotisserie baseball ushered real-life baseball into the sabermetric era --- and I’m inclined to agree with him. Agree / disagree?
A: I’m not buying it. Bill James is not a fantasy guy, nor is MGL, Tango… Branch Rickey wasn’t thinking about fantasy baseball when he came up with his formula which was published in Life magazine in the 50s. Fact-based analysis is a part of all other industries . . . why should baseball be any different? Now, fantasy baseball did pique many people’s interest in the numbers behind the game, and that is a good thing.
...
I’d like to see more research that is based on video analysis rather than strictly stats.
