Halos beginning to incorporate advanced stats in front office decisions

171

An interesting piece on the use of advanced stats by baseball organizations, specifically the Halos. Tony Reagins is apparently beginning to factor them in to FO decisions, though that seems questionable. Really they've just hired a law school graduate to tell them what the advanced stats say about a player and then determine if it meshes with what they see on the field. And obviousy, Scioscia still doesn't buy into them. I'm not very well versed in the calculations of advanced statistics, so I'll let those who are debunk any fallacies Scioscia uses to downplay their value.
