Any advice for someone considering a transition into an analytics position? and will analytics in other sports like hockey eventually get to the point baseball is at or is this going to ultimately remain unique to baseball?

Neil DeGrasse Tyson believes that an exceptional play from a fielder should be banked as a credit and be considered against errors by that player. Any thoughts about this being a serious measurement?

In response to "juiced balls" comments. I recently took BP and played catch at Comerica Park. Haven't played in awhile. It blew my mind how light the baseball was. Maybe I was just used to water-logged balls as kid but... is there any interesting information on a baseball's weight or make up or any interesting effects it would/does have on players and the game if either was to be altered? Is the weight or make up of the baseball even a topic of discussion in the league or just a non-issue.

Haha. Maybe it was in jest, to be fair.
