Both have/had plenty of sabermetric knowledge, but saber education still does not quite match up to a grandmaster's intuition...
I liken it to the 1980's, when chess computers became rather strong, better than 97% of tournament players, but still came in a distant second to the very strongest humans.
At the present time, I don't believe that a guy with a pocket protector ;- ) and a fangraphs site could run a baseball team anywhere near as well as Pat Gillick can.  It's not an indictment of method; it's a celebration of human mastery over the machines.
