28A – Interview with Sam Miller, Baseball Prospectus, Putting Analytics into Practice

A discussion with Sam Miller, Editor in Chief at Baseball
Prospectus and co-author of the new book: The Only Rule Is It Has
to Work: Our Wild Experiment Building a New Kind of Baseball
Team.  We discuss the story of how Sam and his co-author Ben
Lindbergh, two self-acclaimed stat head nerds, were put in charge
of a baseball team – from recruiting to team strategy.  What
can we learn about applying analytics and research in practice?
