FT Guests - The great debate on internal strife stemming from Yankees analytical reliance with Lance Brozdowski and Ben Ruta

Former Yankees minor leaguer Ben Ruta rocked the baseball industry with his comments on bizarre flaws he pointed out in the club's minor league development program. We start with Marquee Player Development Analyst Lance Brozdowski on the high projections he has for Yankees prospects based on advanced stats they value and his thoughts on why the Big League Yanks are struggling. Pierzynski and Kratz counter Lance with their takes on what's gone wrong. Our convo with Ben Ruta follows Lance and features a strong rebuttal to the Yanks front office philosophy: "I don't give a shit about your portfolio" along with advice on simple fixes to the conflict. Ben covers the key stat used to evaluate talent (hint: strikeouts don't hurt you) and reveals a disturbing story about a staff member harshly barking at a prospect for a down season.
