This approach of building a flexible roster that can play varied defensive alignments feels a bit like Moneyball. Is it kinda like the Oakland Athletics when they started that? They didn t go out and sign three guys who could crank out 60-plus home runs. They signed a guy who was good at getting on base, a guy with a high rate of contact to bat behind the guy who gets on base, etc. This feels like that and I m excited to see it play out on the field. I think inflexibility with the roster, or the inability to adapt and change because of roster personnel, has killed many a playoff run. If the opposing team is killing you with one thing, you aren t stuck. You can adapt and change the personnel and alignment. Seems like a great approach.
