Right now, they’re being used more and more as either assistant general manager or assistant bench manager.
On the other hand, some of the actual numbers crunching indicates they’re not being used enough. And, some folks are fine with that, like Mr. Baseball Lawyer, Tony La Russa, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals:
“There’s way too much importance given to what you can produce from a machine,” he said. “These are human beings, and I don’t think any computer is going to model that close to what we deal with at this level.”
(Tony, the puter probably doesn’t care for pitchers batting in the eight spot. Or Khalil Greene batting cleanup.)
