My eyes glaze over and I start having panic attacks thinking I’m about to take a math test if I look at “advanced analytics”.  Give me scouts that can employ the Potter Stewart test… “ I know it when I see it.”

I would argue that you need both scouts and data analysts, although the Astros seem to be doing very well and they have had zero pro scouts for several years now.

Yes, you do need both. Astros cite has 40 people listed in scouting Dept.  They must be doing something….
