NOTE: This article is being reposted from my personal blog, it was written on August 5th. All relevant statistics are accurate through that date. The article has been reformatted but much of the original language is being left unchanged. Normally I wouldn’t repurpose something like this but given much of the discussion around talent evaluation, player development, etc. I thought this could spark some solid discussion.
Today, I thought I’d do a little bit of a deep dive into something I’ve noticed about the Guardians’ offensive struggles as well as what seems like a new approach to acquiring and developing players to combat those struggles.
