I would argue that last season was the only year that Red Sox moved from scouting/traditional approach to the calculator approach.

Then you are incorrect. This isn't an opinion, it's a fact. What do you think Bill James is employed for.
And that's a microcosm of the issue here. As someone elsewhere said when I brought this up: "I don't know how someone could be so wrong yet so sure that he is right."
I came across this thread and joined just to correct you. Several of the things in this thread are not an objective opinion thing, there's a fact to them and you have misinformation. Not to be a jerk, it's just the way it is: you are wrong about several things as a matter of objective fact, not subjective opinion.
But you refuse to accept that you are incorrect, so there's no point in furthering the discussion. You are wrong but you refuse to accept that as a posibility. So there's nowhere else to go with this. As another person linked to this thread said: "It's probably not worth your time." And he's probably correct.
Hopefully, though, I may have gotten to you enough that you will do your research and will make sure you know what you're talking about and have a more informed background on the topic.
Or, you can continue to be wrong and pretend you're right, but as you've been pretty classy, I'm going to go away trusting that you do have the capacity to either stop talking about a subject or learn enough about it that you at least don't spout inaccuracies as fact.
