Wouldn't it have made more sense to do it earlier (age 15-16) in order to increase his original paltry signing bonus? Steroids helped him grow 2 1/2 inches too?

I've hurt it can hinder some growth 2 1/2 inches....nudge nudge say no more.
August 13, 20223 yr If you skip to 4:24 you'll get right to the part about your 2022 Chicago White Sox....

August 19, 20223 yr Wow. That graph confirms so much. The trend in every sport is to hire as many extra coaches and analysts as humanly possible. Sox hand out some iPads and let players fend for themselves.

Sox hand out some iPads and let players fend for themselves. But one of them is definitely Shelly Duncan and the long experience and skill that earned him the job totally offsets some of that.

August 19, 20223 yr Duncan will work in concert with Dan Fabian, Matt Koenig and Daniel Zien in a baseball operations department that has beefed up its analytics, ...pretty sure the other was a young woman that either was an intern or full hire. https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2021/1/13/22229032/white-sox-shelley-duncan-relishing-new-role

THAT is efficiency. Another way to spin the stats is to look at wins per analytics staffer. How's THAT for advanced analytics! Turned that around on you all....

August 19, 20223 yr I recently watched Trouble With The Curve (well technically my wife watched it while I followed the Soxtalk gamethread but I was in the same room) and that movie proved that all you egghead numbers guys don't know diddly squat about baseball. At least I think that was what it was about. My wife was also switching back and forth from that movie to Draft Day so I might have lost some of the context. All I know is that this kid had a great curveball and they brought him in to embarrass the other kid that they had just drafted in the 1st round. Also, it's not easy being a scout, or GM, or lawyer who hates being a lawyer. Remember that.
August 19, 20223 yr Hahn finally gets off his brains and it's to sign Elvis freakin Andrus. That's great.
August 19, 20223 yr The analytics staff thing is probably also due to jerry, if hahn signed too many analytics guys jerry probably will come into his office and ask him why he is paying those nerds:). Many owners really hate non major league roster payroll costs

I’d love to hire people to purposely never listen to. Sounds really funny and a fun way to burn cash if you’re a billionaire.
