September 9, 201511 yr How much does or did Jennings actually do here? He's never actually been in charge of baseball operations here despite the title of Gm. Who knows, maybe elsewhere, if he's actually the final decision maker, maybe he does a decent job.

September 9, 201511 yr Author That's the least of their problems. You can build a good organization and a good team without analytics. The problem is that they are incompetent from top to bottom. Although, Jennings did have a good reputation before coming here, so I guess more of the blame can be placed on Loria's shoulders. It's a HUGE part of the problem actually. Notice any patterns here? http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/12331388/the-great-analytics-rankings

DJ took him out of that hesitant I also believe he's one of the recruiters along with Samson during Free Agency.

September 9, 201511 yr Author That is hilarious and sad at the same time. Yeah it really is striking/telling...Definitely bummed me out that my team and the fucking phillies are the only 2 that refuse to accept that analytics as way of putting a team together in any form
September 9, 201511 yr I really don't understand the Marlins's absolute non-belief in any advanced metrics. Loria tries to pass himself as a smart, educated guy and he desperately wants to win (I believe this latter part), so why wouldn't he join the stats bandwagon? Also consider that the Marlins have operated on such a limited budget during his tenure as owner, wouldn't he want to try advanced metrics since they have a reputation for helping small market teams?
September 10, 201511 yr I think philosophies used to make decisions when building your team, need to be a means to end. I don't think you should rely on one thing.
September 10, 201511 yr Why does every article that comes out about our front office make it seem like we have 50 guys in charge of the direction of the team? And why does Loria feel the need to appoint someone just because he likes them considering he changes his mind on who he likes every 2 months.

Don't worry about it, go believe another bogus audio story instead

And with the Phillies ending Amaro's tenure (http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/phillies-move-on-from-ruben-amaro/), it looks like the marlins will be the only team in baseball to completey anti-analytics (aka idiots). Can't wait for this off season!
September 10, 201511 yr Don't worry about it, go believe another bogus audio story instead Because David Samson saying something inflammatory is so unbelievable.
September 10, 201511 yr Stay back, that one is all mine. Fn love me some Brie Bella. She can't wrestle. Neither can her sister and all the other 'Divas.' The only real wrestlers in that division are either in NXT, just came up from NXT, or is named Paige.
September 10, 201511 yr She can't wrestle. Neither can her sister and all the other 'Divas.' The only real wrestlers in that division are either in NXT, just came up from NXT, or is named Paige. oh I wasn't talking about her wrestling ability. I was just talking about my desire to wrestle her privately in my own bedroom.
September 10, 201511 yr oh I wasn't talking about her wrestling ability. I was just talking about my desire to wrestle her privately in my own bedroom. HER WRESTLING ABILITY IS ALL THAT MATTERS
September 11, 201511 yr Stay back, that one is all mine. Fn love me some Brie Bella. are you kidding me, wow. Ugly and overrated to no end
September 11, 201511 yr So the Marlins apparently want Jennings back as GM. I'd respect them more if they came out and said, "look guys we fucked up with the manager thing."
