I'm actually not sure where this Hahn theory comes from; Hahn is a lawyer, his strength was contracts and the likes. I think Hahn is pro-data and metrics and saw it as imperative to win. I don't think Hahn has any sort of background in analytics or data though.

Agree with your sentiment in general, just don't agree with "Hahn the data and analytics" guy. He's a sharp guy no doubt, and part of great management is giving jobs and roles to really smart people that know shit you do not, but Hahn isn't leading any data departments, or building and utilizing any data warehouses anytime soon.

I'll stand corrected if that is the case, I just remember hearing that being a main draw for his services.

I think it is utterly asinine to not let Rick choose his guy.  RH was kept on because he was a top analytics guy that ballclubs were slavering over when the possibility of him being available came about.  Now, after putting up with mouthbreathing fans that blame him for the on field talent and offseason signings, when he finally has HIS team HE wanted to put together through HIS means, JR comes along a deebo's his options for manager.  It makes no sense outside of JR doing JR things.

No.  Not left handed and at that cost hurts ability to spend on pitching

Agreed but his bat solidifies this offense such that you wouldn't have to spend more on pitching.  You plug him in this past season instead of Mazara and add back Kopech I think the Sox make it to the ALCS at least.
