WIN METHOD & Baseball Draft

As you know, the WIN METHOD is a highly developed sophisticated interview process, where the interviewee does not know the real purpose of the interview. This process has been developed over several decades and now serves as the greatest evaluation tool in baseball. That fact becomes even more awe inspiring when the teams draft picks are the last or very near the last each year. What make the WIN METHOD so successful, is it looks for players who have the mental makeup and desire to play on the 'big stage and under the bright lights' of New York, and for the greatest team in baseball history. To get a fantastic perspective on the interview process and its value, read Chapter 6 "What Winners Are Made Of" in Jack Welchs book WINNING.
Anyone can peruse meaningless individual stats, and sometimes these gaudy individual stat players are WIN METHOD players. Unfortunately, because of the way the baseball draft is set up, a team cannot draft its top choices. That is why the WIN METHOD is the best tool, it can find players that can help the team succeed that other organizations tend to pass up. Remember, the greatest players are not always the ones with the highest individual stats (fools gold), but the players who can help your team win the most by producing at the right time and under the greatest degree of pressure. Baseball 'Free Agency" (FA), was the final straw that finalized the WIN METHODs development. FA allowed the WIN METHOD to obtain players down the road, that it was unable to select in the draft. Plus, it also gave the option to obtain them when and if they needed them. But it did come at a price. fortunately, the dollar burden was not an issue with the greatest owner in baseball over the past 40 years, the great Mr.S., George Steinbrenner.

MISLEADING STATISTICS

Hey there WIN METHOD fans. I would like to illustrate to you, with an example of just how misleading stats can be and take you down a road only fools travel. The YANKEES opened the season with a three game series in Baltimore. The YANKEES scored more runs, got more hits, played error less defense while the O's committed two errors. Nice stats for the YANKEES, only one problem, the O's won two of the three games. How can that be, you may ask. Why? Because stats only document what happened. Statistics do not determine who wins, only what happened. Only winning determines who is best, because being the best is determined by WHEN you produce, not by how many or much you produce. The Orioles produced to a lesser degree, but produced WHEN it mattered. That is why they won two of the three games, The Orioles were the best team over those three games. Winning determines the best. No stats, no fool talking head on any of the sports shows, or newspapers, and not by any fools on baseball talk forums. That is why the WIN METHOD player evaluation system is undeniably the best way to judge a player over his career, by comparing players to each other in similar eras. At the end of a 162 game baseball season, the players who help lead their team to the playoffs are the best players in the game. The players who do this the most and then also help lead their team through the playoffs and to the World Series are the best players in their era. Put this in your back pocket and always remember when you hear people talking stats and comparing players, they know not of what they speak. Be the wise WIN METHOD fan, set them straight, then walk away laughing as they try to explain what fools they are, when they say their players who consistently fail to help their team achieve, are their best players. HAPPY EASTER
