What do you think this pays? Hourly, I'll bet it really sucks, like sub $12

My guess is it would pay about $50,000.

Minimum wage is $11.10. Gotta be more than that. $50K sounds about right, especially considering that's still too low.

They're looking for someone with a degree and technical experience. In New York City. I think it's probably at least 50K.

Oh btw, looks like they may be reporting to Adam Guttride, the newly hired assistant GM of Systematic Development.

Guttridge is a former Brewers' stat guy who has his own licensed player projection system, NEIFI, named after Neifi Perez, I think.

This appears to be actual evidence that Brodie is doing something.

I saw him tell Steve Gelbs that there are eleven areas that he wants to concentrate on. I was curious to hear a list of all eleven, but Steve didn't even ask him to name one of them.

Eleven Areas of concern for Brodie to concentrate on:

#1 -- Better drink selection in the CitiField employee cafeteria

#2 -- Keep Jeffy away from female employees.

#4 Keep Jeffy away from the manager, the GM, the players, the medical staff, Jay Horowitz, the grounds crew, the Shake Shack...

#5 Keep a separate set of books for Freddy and Jeffy so they think the Mets have more money to spend on the team.

#6 - Find out what Mr Met knows, 'cause he's seen some shit.

I think keeping Jeff Wilpon close to Shake Shack would be a more productive strategy.

#7, push back the railing on the Party City Deck 20-30 inches, so outfielders can reach over and past the wall.

#8 -- Find out who keeps putting empty soda cans in the bin designated for paper and cardboard recycling

Allard Baird. Worked his way up to the Royals' big chair after starting as a Class A batting coach.

Apparently really good in the scouting and development departments, but as GM, got pretty fleeced trading off the players he developed.

I like this a lot. This plus the consultant guy they hired earlier this week.

Committing to surrounding himself with smart people is a great philosophy by Brodie.

Not sure how I feel about this. Things ended badly between him and the Cubs.

I'm not sure how much of it was him taking the fall for a good team seemingly slumping all at once, but the players appeared to have issues with him.

And they apparently didn't end a whole lot better with the Red Sox either:

Now a huge part of that was the one-year void the Red Sox had at DH. But that's two straight seasons where a team with a lineup full of big names couldn't move on from him fast enough.

What's a Quality Control Coach?

It's his job to deliver an electric shock to Callaway if he tries to signal for Tim Peterson to come into the game.
