pwny Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Quote Kassam most recently served as the director of baseball research with Major League Baseball's Minnesota Twins, leading the club's baseball research department and overseeing analytics in the areas of scouting, player development, and biomechanics. The Twins claimed the American League Central Division title in his lone year with the team. Prior to his time with the Twins, Kassam spent five years with the Pittsburgh Steelers as the club's analytics and football research coordinator. While in Pittsburgh, he led development of advanced statistics for football operations, analyzing opponent tendencies and college prospects while working closely with personnel and coaching.

.Buzz Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Happy to see our team going deeper into analytics and hiring such a highly thought of mind to help head it. Good hire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Ehhh...at least it sounds like they're being a little more up front about the depth and weight of Tony Khan's role in running the team with this. But still kinda bury his titular "promotion" under the rest of the announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Is there even a point to giving Tony Khan these titles and promotions? I think we all know how much say he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all know how much say he has. I figure it’s like those “achievement unlocked” badges or whatever you get when you’re playing Madden. But for Tony’s real life version of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
