Do you think these stats are valuable and why or why not?

Actually, we have at least 3 employees of professional baseball that I personally know of on this forum. There could be more certainly, but I know of 3.

Who?

Who?

That's not my privilege to say (none of them are very active though) and one of them is my brother-in-law. 1 of them works in minor league baseball fwiw, none are in influential positions either. I would gather we actually have more than this, but I just happen to know about these 3 for particular reasons (as in I know them personally).

I'm sure we have additional people who do things like ticket sales for example. The three people I'm referring to work in baseball operations though.

I also have a buddy on here, but I don't think he has ever posted, he plays organ music for the Cardinals, and he has managed to actually tell me about moves a full 24 hours before they actually get reported on mlbtr. Crazy how he always finds out lol, he has literally nothing to do with that side of the team.

I'm pretty sure Dugmet is a writer.

Now if only everyone treated others with the same respect he does his father.

I commend the author on how he handled the immature insults within the article he was quoting. With the amount of insults thrown around, it could easily be applied to both sides of the discussion, especially in this thread.

I'd just like to point out that Gord Ash, one time GM of the Jays, started off as a ticket guy at Skydome and managed to work his way all the way up to the GM position which is pretty impressive. I believe he's now with the Brewers as assistant GM, or at least last I checked he was. It's not impossible to get involved with your team if you're willing to work hard to get it.
