Psst… wanna work for, uh, some unnamed MLB team?
Current whipping-boy Joe Sheehan says to email with your answer to this question:
If you had access to all of the information available to a major league team - both public and proprietary data, such as scouting reports, training reports, video, etc - what question(s) would you attempt to answer with that data? How would you go about that process? What potential problems do you foresee?
The correct answer must always have to do with trying to figure out the underlying true talent level of the player. If, for example, you are considering acquiring Franklin Gutierrez, you need to know, really, how good a fielder he is, how good a hitter he really is, and how likely all that will persist in the next 3-5 years. So, when you answer, think in terms of true talent levels, because that’s all we really care about in the end.
