Bloomberg Introduces Player Evaluation Software

"If they convince all 30 teams to pay $50,000 each, that’s $1.5 million," said John Dewan, the owner of a rival, Baseball Info Solutions, which sells software that analyzes fielding to about half the major league teams. "Is that big enough? It’s nice for a small company. For a big company? I don’t think they’ll get the return they want."

From the article:

But the historian John Thorn, who used to edit the statistical encyclopedia Total Baseball, sounded mournful about the trend and Bloomberg’s decision to take its technology to baseball.

"It tells me that baseball is increasingly a business and less a sport, which has been going on for 150 years," Thorn said. "I’m just sick of stats."

"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
