Re: A New Way to Scout

On the topic of keeping data private versus sharing it with the world:

It's a huge waste of time for every team to dedicate 7+ people to compiling the same exact set of statistics. If a community effort produced the same thing with far less total effort, the teams with the most effective scouting systems could instead put that effort into creating more advanced statistics and improving their qualitative scouting and their methods of collecting and using that qualitative data. Those teams would still have a competitive advantage to show for their efforts.
