Over at MLB.com, Jason Beck has penned the latest entry in the Tigers offseason of analytics, or at least their lip service to it. In this latest addition is an observation on the blending of traditional scouting with the ever-growing analytics department within the Tigers organization. General manager, Al Avila, is careful to say that any decisions that get made won’t be boiled down to an “analytics” or a “scouting” decision, but that there will be an emphasis on both sides of that coin. Interestingly, the article opens with a reference to the signing of Mike Pelfrey, and how that was a signing based on the fact that the team’s scouts thought he still had something to offer.
