Ever take those internet journeys where you start off looking for one thing and wind up somewhere totally different, but you’re glad you ended up there? That is exactly how I found this debate between two stat guys & two scout guys conducted by Alan Schwarz at Baseball America over three years ago. In fact, I don’t even remember what I was first looking for… something baseball related I’d bet. I never caught this conversation the first time around during the whole “Moneyball” dustup. It’d be really interesting to get the four guys back for a follow-up and see how they’ve progressed with their stances on everything. At any rate, I thought it’d be topical given today’s amateur draft at 1 PM on ESPN.
