Jose Guillen has had 5 homers in 4 days for the Royals!

Well I think baseball prospectus is very cutting edge and some GM's are going to start going by the numbers and a new trend will happen where traditional scouting is used less, and the advanced statistics begin doing all the work for these GM's.
Yo, by the way, a new story came out in the local paper today. Turns out Guillen almost died during the offseason last year, he had bloodclots in his legs so bad he couldn't walk for around a month, he lost all his wieght and strength and everything.
He says he's back healthy now and that he wasnt ever really healthy last year and that as his strength increases hes going to get even better!
Jose Guillen your 2010 MLB MVP!?

Doubt we'll ever see scouting used less. I've been preaching on this board in favor sabermetrics since 2004, and there is still snickering when some of the commentators talk about it, and can't even imagine what front offices around the league feel about it. Casual fans of the game don't want any of it. What's the first thing that pops up on a telecast when they introduce a batter? BA, HR, RBI. It's rare when they show the person's OBP, let alone OPS. ESPN is known to do it, but they only broadcast a couple of games per week.

That buzz has been going on for years lol. I'm just still pissed that the Dodgers let go of Paul DePodesta.

He's batting almost close to his career average, I think it's only about to get worse.
