@ChrisCoop_ Chris, thanks for taking the time to respond. Let’s clear up some things.. I had an awesome experience with the Yankees this year. They’re the only MLB org I’ve been with since 2018 so I can only speak to them specifically, but they have BY FAR the best personnel of any org..

I couldn’t possibly agree with Jeff Kent more!

The game has gone too far concerning ANALYTICS and it needs a reset!

I would estimate that 99.99 % of retired @MLB players will agree with Jeff Kent!

Younger players in the states. After my short stint with the Yankees this year, hyper focused on my own analytics, it was a breath of fresh air to return to Mexico and remember what it was like to lose yourself and play for nothing more than to help the team win.
