        Very cool MLBTR does this for it’s readers. They literally have nothing to gain by doing so. Tim Dierkes does care about the MLBTR followers. I hope someone from here ends up with the job.

      Or if you want to build an analytics program from ground up, which sounds pretty cool to me. This will be an interesting experiment. The Rockies are going from essentially no analytics to a full programme. Let’s see what difference it makes.

        @seamaholic 2: Exactly. I’m not qualified so won’t be applying but it would be interesting, specially adding in the high altitude influence.

        ==================================
        That’s true for most jobs. My first two jobs needed some serious help. I rebuilt their reporting systems, and because I basically owned the process, I stayed there 30+ years.

        In my third job, the system was already in place. It was like the system owned me, instead of vice versa.

        Assuming everything else is equal, you always want to be the one that builds the systems.

    If a person reads MLB trade rumors on a regular basis does that fact make a person over qualified for the job ??????

      You need someone that is a baseball junkie, as well as someone that might prefer experience over salary. If I was graduating with an advanced math degree, this is exactly the sort of job I’d be looking for.

    The first interview question probably isn’t “So, eating a full year of the Arenado contract–good move?”
