where they used smart data and statistics to figure out how to pick players that would help them win games,

and they went from a system that was based on baseball scouts2 who used to go out and watch players

and use their instinct and experience, the scouts'instincts and experience, to pick players,

So we went from doing low-level drug crimes that were outside our building to doing cases of statewide importance,
