Read the column, not the headline
> Head of baseball operations finalists likely selected by next week, source says; job title still undetermined
> According to the source, the chief revenue and strategy officer would be involved in determining how much money the team invests in data, analytics and strategy.
> “The job of the CRSO would be to grow revenues to be reinvested back into baseball operations and the team,” the source said.
> Executive vice president Walker Monfort, the oldest son of team owner and CEO Dick Monfort, is leading the search for a new boss in the wake of the Rockies’ 119-loss season. GM Bill Schmidt, the longtime overseer of the Rockies‘ “draft-and-develop” philosophy, resigned on Oct. 1 following the worst season in franchise history. Assistant GM Zack Rosenthal resigned on Oct. 8.
> Walker Monfort has said he will look into how small and mid-market teams have been able to “put winning teams on the field.”
> “I’ve talked about doing a deep dive into what we’re doing and how we’re currently allocating our resources,” he told The Denver Post when he was promoted to vice president in June. “Part of what we’re talking about here is looking at clubs. Milwaukee is an example. Cleveland is an example. Arizona is an example, Minnesota — similar market-sized teams that have had recent success. We need to look at what they’re doing that may be different from us.”
> Walker Monfort has repeatedly said that the Rockies “need to maximize our resources” in all departments, but hasn’t spelled that out. He’s also said that he and his father are working together.
> “I don’t think our vision is different; I think we have a very similar vision,” he said in June. “We both want the same thing for this organization. We want to be a very high-caliber baseball team with the best customer service and the best experience in baseball.
> “He’s a partner in this. He’s still the ultimate decision-maker. In the end, we’re looking at getting this organization back to where it needs to be. And I think we can confidently say that we’re going to do what we can to do that.”
Earth shattering, not necessarily. Maybe, potentially positive? At least looks like the Org is moving toward doing things differently. Who knows, maybe Walker is a big FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus guy….
I’m at least going to be hopeful that this position and the GM bring in some brains and talent from outside the organization that can change how things are being done.
> According to the source, the chief revenue and strategy officer would be involved in determining how much money the team invests in data, analytics and strategy
Well that’s a step in the right direction. Analytics and strategy need to be the core and one and the same.
Wait we have revenue? And strategy? Could have fooled me.
