I don’t think any Dodger fan (me included) has any idea what kind of effort goes into prospect evaluation, player development, and everything involved with that. How much time do you spend each week on things related to the Los Angeles Dodgers? 40 hours? No way! 20 hours? What would your boss (wife) say? 10 Hours? Maybe… That might be what I spend each week… and that’s a lot!
The reality is that people working in baseball analytics, scouting, and analysis positions routinely work 60-80 hours a week. They gather information, and people like Andrew Friedman are charged with evaluating, processing, and acting on that information.
