Haven't been on here for a bit...but wanted to let everyone know that I’ve joined @JCrew brands as their Chief Digital Officer. Cool technology, a better wardrobe. :)
@enosarris@chadyoung@TheFantasyFix@fangraphs@ottoneu I actually think Anderson is really interesting in Avg leagues. He was my original target until we laddered up the convo. I would be happy to have him, as a sub in to grab sbs.
@genmon@tomcritchlow It does, the struggle is how do you find external opportunities that isn't just straight dev work, which agencies aren't priced correctly for...
@genmon@tomcritchlow Also, I should note that as an R/GA alum I do think the ventures program is great, we've even had them in for a conversations and have worked with some of startups (Clarifai).
@genmon@tomcritchlow ...needed to actually identify and be able to iterate through a problem. I think one of the other large obstacles is how do you build trust as an agencies if part of the job is to fail...that's very different than how it's been in the past and trust is massively needed.
@genmon@tomcritchlow I guess the hardest thing here is that true Innovation usually has to come from within. Yes I agree that companies need to separate the day-to-day work from other projects that are "more risky"/innovative, but agencies struggle with having the domain company knowledge....
@JP_Breen @enosarris@TomTrudeau Hey it's your team and if that's the value you want so be it. I just am wary of picks in this league and would have been waiting for some offers for a few days before clicking accept. Just a different philosophy I guess.
@TomTrudeau@enosarris @JP_Breen My issue is that you've just cherry picked the best players drafted over 2 years near those picks. I can come plenty of guys who are not good. In fact if you look at those exact slots from last year you get Cal Quantrill, Matt Thaiss, Will benson, Charlie Tilson, & Dakota Hudson
@enosarris @JP_Breen @TomTrudeau I really dislike this trade JP, I felt you could have done a lot better if you would have fielded offers for longer than an hour. cc @enosarris
