"“There is way more money involved in [the league] today than even ten years ago, and teams have to work harder and harder to find and maintain competitive edges.

Teams with at least one analyst in 2009 outperformed their expected winning percentage by 44 percentage points over the 2012-14 period, relative to teams who didn’t — an enormous effect, equivalent to more than seven extra wins per season.  Even the minimum estimate of two extra wins per year would represent a return roughly 30 times as efficient as spending the same amount on the free-agent market.

Find. The. Edges!"
