Neal Huntington interview

Neal Huntington interview

In this interview, Huntington states:

Once we acquire a player we will focus all of our resources on maximizing that player's ability-mentally, physically, fundamentally and personally. Mentally we will work to equip the player with the ability to perform with confidence and let his natural abilities take over. Physically we will educate and provide the player with the proper nutritional, strength, conditioning and medical resources. Fundamentally we will provide the player with a systematic, long term oriented plan for his on field development. Personally we will work to provide the player with life skills programs both theoretical and practical. We believe that we can improve a player's performance through our development program but statistical analysis will play an important role in our evaluation of our players and our programs.

Sounds like a Stepford Plan!

A Pirates' version of DiamondView makes a lot of sense. It should provide value to the team long after Coonelly and Huntington have moved to greener pastures.
