Since the season is 60% shorter, it's tough to ignore early slumps when it comes to players. Scott and Ron discuss what to focus on and what to ignore when it comes to making decisions early on in the season. And while stats like BABIP and spin rate have it into mainstream baseball analysis, the pair explain why another stat revolution could be coming if someone can crack the code.
