“Moneyball” the movie debuted in 2011 and, I myself, had the privilege to interview Casey Bond about his starring role with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill as Paul DePodesta.
DePodesta resume does not come lightly. He last worked as a chief stategy officer with the Cleveland Browns for ten years and has never been seen in Major League Baseball since. In fact, what is to say the vertical break and horizontal break logic has fit into a lot of batters’ success these days at the plate.
So much has changed in the sport of baseball since DePodesta last evolved. DePodesta is a time-making shift as to what the Monfort brothers have in mind. The brothers have always invested in profits more so than winning ball games and investing in the farm system full-term.
Without DePodesta and Monforts, nobody would be talking about the technology department and infrastructure, the Rockies have a lot to touch on before sustaining DePodesta’s job. Another thing is the pitch clock.
Many notable peers in baseball respect DePodesta such as Chris Antonetti, Alex Anthopolous, and MIke Elias. Elias, president of Baltimore Orioles baseball operations, did mention DePodesta might have a grasp about player health and performance spacing coming over from the NFL but nothing tells until DePodesta steps in and evolves the core shape of the Colorado Rockies front office.
