During his panel Saturday at FanFest on implementing analytics across baseball operations, Orioles assistant general manager Sig Mejdal quipped that he didn't know how many analysts was the appropriate number for a major league team to have, but he knew zero wasn't right either.
That philosophy seems to be extending to infielders this offseason for executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias and Mejdal, who have spent the offseason with the most significant work to the major league roster the addition of infield depth in hopes of solidifying that spot on the roster.
