    Which is why Theo Epstein is one of the least successful GMs on the market and none of the 30 teams have advanced analytics teams now. The best teams now have moved beyond sabermetrics because everyone is using them now. Saber is now the expectation and a standard tool in every front office.

        Back in the 1970s and 80s Dave Kingman was always laughed at for the all or nothing approach to his game. In the three seasons he led a league in strikeouts, he averaged a home run every 16 plate appearances and a strikeout every 4.4. Aaron Judge, all the rage right now in his young career (this season and maybe a couple dozen games in 2016) hits a home run every 16 plate appearances but strikes out faaaar more often, once every 3 at bats. Giancarlo Stanton, one of the highest paid baseball players ever, hits a home run every 15.5 plate appearances over the course of his career, and strikes out once every 3.6 plate appearances, also a much higher clip than Kingman. Over the course of his career, Kingman's 162 game average of RBIs+Runs-HRs (a simple and little used anymore measure of a slugger's worth) was 139. For Stanton it is only 111. I'd say the game has changed more in the last 25 years than it did in the 100 before that.

                      throughout his life. though there is a story in that 1986 mets book where the writer recalled from his youth a story of being at mets spring training getting a ball signed by the team. kingman was always a tough get because, well he's a dlck. but this day kingman was in a field with a little water and mud and standing a bit aways from the crowd along the side. the writer was trying to get kingman's attention and finally kingman looked at him, smiled, and motioned for him to toss the ball over to kingman so he could sign it. the then kid did so energetically, only to see kingman drop the smile, step to the side, and watch the ball fall into a puddle. kingman then looked at the kid and turned a walked away.

                      story is almost too good to believe it's true.
