Take off "his gut" and it doesn't change my wager.

Here's the flaw...how does the robomanager account for evaluating talent. Since statistics are evaluated retrospectively, how does, say, the robot manage a low A team?

Really? It's a perfectly valid question. Make sure you unplug the vacuum after you're done fucking it.

Fine, if you really want to do this.

I was only talking about a major league team. But if you'd like to extend it, then the robot manager in low A could use college/high school stats. Or hell, maybe we'll throw the humans a bone and let them manage at the single A level.
