New York Post | Dan Martin: It appears the two most recent additions to the Yankees are already stirring up some discussion. Brian Sabean and Omar Minaya — two of the most respected pro scouts in baseball — were brought in as senior advisors to the front office, but Brian Cashman pushes back against the notion that he added them to counterbalance the analytics side of operations. There are some who feel the Yankees have become too data-driven in recent seasons, however the Yankees GM as well as majority owner Hal Steinbrenner feel that the organization strikes a good balance between analytics, scouting, and player development, with Cashman reiterating that he brought Sabean and Minaya onboard to add more voices to the room.
