That isn't what I said. I said real baseball men should be in charge. The stats geeks should be in the background reading charts and graphs...very expendable

Here is what you said, Randy:

Or did I misquote you?

You get formulas for analytics, you input data, you print out results...pretty much a monkey could do it. Even you, Rog

So you DID say all it took was rudimentary computer skills. I didn't think I had misquoted you.

By the way, I have a rudimentary knowledge of sabermetrics, but I'm nowhere close to being qualified for either of the two Giants positions. I wish I were.

By the way, where do the formulas come from, and how are the data collected and sorted? I get the inputting, printing and monkey business.
