seems very likely that they want the playoff dollars, and don't want to risk attendance tanking further.

I think they want playoff wins more than playoff dollars. I think a healthy team this year would have made the playoffs. Our biggest problem in years past is we would make the playoffs but we're not tough enough. He is changing that. This is about wining

For everyone that wanted a complete teardown rebuild, SJ was able to do a rebuild on the fly and it seems to working out for them. It's not easy, but is possible.

We have tried the Detroit model, the Boston model, the Chicgao model. Now it's time for the SJ model .

The funny thing is people can call it what they want but we were in rebuild for the last two years. We had 6 players drafted in the last 4 years on the roster plus about another 10 new faces . If that's not a rebuild then slap me silly

bonino is a ufa after next season. benning is just going to sign him. he will have the last laugh with both bonino and sutter in the line up. to all his detractors:

I'm not even judging Benning until year 4 or 5. Right now he has been here 2 years. Some moves I have liked, some moves I haven't but he is tearing down the Gillis/Nonis roster that peaked 5 years ago and building his own. This all takes time.

@fiveandagame It won't let me quote you for some reason but I've brought up the same thing before.. Baseball is a completely different game though because of the salary cap BUT moneyballs has been around for decades and the teams that win don't blink an eye at it

Most of the successful teams all use analytics and many of them heavily rely on them according to this article.

Just because the team that started the trend hasn't won yet doesn't mean the other teams using it haven't found it useful. Didn't the Red Sox go hard after Beane and have since followed since then?
