Huge Deal. He is founder of Driveline think tank. I believe Bauer trains with them. They use biomechanics and data that will improve pitching at the farm level but also has had success at the MLB level. The Reds will have the top pitching in the league at some point or at least near the top. This meshes well with Bell's philosophy and data analysis. Read the link below:

The Reds fired Turner Ward which means they need to find a batting coach guru. I see the Reds heading in the right direction and have a jump start on the Bengals.
Give the Bengals 3 more years and they may be in the modern era of the "new" NFL along with LAR, KC, Saints. At least I hope so. Also, Mike Brown turned 84 this year. He is approaching his 90's. His time of reigning the Bengals front office is approaching an end. It is hard to fathom that Mike is the son of Paul Brown. What a waste of 30 years...
I have mixed feelings on Boddy. I’m not against new concepts and this kinda incorporates money ball type philosophies. His biggest success story is Bauer who looked rather crappy this year. My guess is that some things will work with some guys and some will backfire on others. Most things have been tried to some degree over the last 150 years. I’m not opposed to going with him but I wouldn’t call him a genius guru yet. Don’t get me started on the Bengals. Lol
