METS SEARCHING FOR STATS ANALYST (November 7, 2003)

In a signal of the new wave of baseball thinking, the Mets are looking to hire a statistical analyst to join their front office. ... "We've gone through an extensive search process," Mets GM Jim Duquette said. "Our plan is to have a statistical analyst to come on and be a resource or a tool in our evaluating process."

I wonder if this is tied-in with the other story?

  So did you and MGL send in your applications yet??

  If anyone here gets the job I'm calling every day and sending a resume every week for a spot on his staff. Think Andy getting a library at Shawshank.

  I didn't, but I was thinking about it a few months ago.

Someone gave me the bright idea that the best way to get into a front office, if you really want that, is to schmooze with the assistant GMs. Since I live in northern NJ, I was well-aware of what was going on with Steve Phillips and Jim Duquette. "Hmmmm, I thought... what if I contact Duquette?" But, I never got around to that, as I was much too busy posting here.

However, I need a stable and good paying job (funny how your perspective changes once you have a baby), and I'm not sure that MLB offers that.

Note to Mets: MGL recently moved back to NY.

Note to MLB teams: Tom Tippett, Tom Ruane, Mike Emeigh, Keith Woolner, Chris Dial and several others should be on your "exhaustive search" list.

  You know, USA runs Shawshank all the time, and I can never get enough of it. It's such a brilliantly-crafted movie. Every character in there breathes life. Godfather (I and II), Shawshank... never get tired of those. Color Purple. Anything else?

  MLB would have to pay me ARod money to get me to move to NY :)
