So I'm not sure that works, but you can staff up.

We didn't call it that, but the analytics that were provided to us, we used.

I think you ignore statistical data at your peril.

I've said this from the start.

When Moneyball came out, I bought 20 copies of the book and made everyone on my staff read it right away.

That was 20 years ago.

I think you ignore statistical data at your peril.

Something tells you, don't draft this guy because of this.

You have to pay attention to it.

You may have other information.

You may overrule that pick.

You may say, our information is that this guy is going to be a good player.

But you ignore that data at your peril.

I think the difference is I think Vancouver...

is in a bigger mess in my mind just because of the depth and extent of the problems they've had all year, the last couple of years, and with the goal setting not being settled.

You had AP40 and you had JT Miller and you had this controversy and that controversy.

It appears to be a very rough, very rough waters.

And so I think that Toronto's avoided much of that.

And they have a superstar, obviously.

So I think I would say Toronto's in better shape.
