re: Perfect Follow-Up to Astro's Thread: LSU Early Adopters of Advanced Stats

Here is my response on the SEC board:

The implementation is also being subsidized by MLB. So while the benefits to the colleges are outlined well in the article (recruiting to an extent, and opponent scouting), the big advantage is to the MLB clubs that get more data for draft evaluations.

Because there is no way they're subsidizing it without an info share agreement.

I still like it though, and there will probably be more advantages to come from it longer the college teams can play around with it.

If I were a school like UL-Lafayette, I'd try to get the system installed at my field. They host a bunch of JUCO games throughout the year (central location, turf field) and could use that as an evaluation advantage for recruiting JUCO kids.
