If it is assumed the average MLB analytics department isn’t as comprehensive as the Rays or Dodgers, what could the Rockies do to get there?
The Dodgers currently employ Andrew Friedman as president of baseball operations, but it was his masterful work in Tampa Bay that propelled him into executive stardom. Friedman held a similar vice president position with the Rays starting in 2006 before moving to Los Angeles in 2014. Both his current and former employer will be on full display as they face off tonight in the World Series.
