Separate topic, but this seems like the strtong dividing line between the sabes and the 'old guys', no? (I have no dog in this fight; I believe in both.)
But Moneyball taught us that the smart money is on the numbers; the new wave will eventually force out the dinosaurs.
But when I look at the the last 11 World Series champs, I see that Dayton Moore, Brian Sabean, Pat Gillick, and Kenny Williams are responsbile for six of them...Theo Epstein and Cherinton holding up the fort for the other side with two...and the rest for Mozelak and Cashman who are, where?--somewhere in the middle?
So maybe it's also possible to pay too much attention to the numbers?
