They are things that baseball people, not to mention fans, have been unable to see? The points in this article were speculation. What we are hoping for is that Stearns and co. will be able to see a part of the game we are missing.

Baseball caught up to Billy Beane in valuing on-base percentage. And also on college talent. And then there was a market inefficiency favoring selection of HS talent. I think we’re at stasis on that front.

Then we hit the market inefficiencies on defense. Perhaps injury prevention is the next big thing.

But at a certain point, analysis will be pretty darn thorough in evaluating the key ingredients of the game: getting on base, hitting for power, pitching, defense, and injury prevention. Certain factors–you mentioned nutrition, for example–seem to me to be so marginal that they won’t be able to compensate for the big markets’ ability to pay for the other stuff.

Great article until you threw gas on the fire in the last two paragraphs. Overall I cannot deny anything you said however.
