Talk:Sig Mejdal

Request Edit
An extensive profile was written on Sig Mejdal in Sports Illustrated. Most of the information in the profile has already been covered here through other sources, but it's the first source that really evaluated whether his approach to sabermetrics is effective and provides some "Reception"-type information (in sum, it's been effective but is seen as de-humanizing players). It also has a few other snippets of details and context around his biographical information.

I've put together some proposed additions in bold red text at User:CorporateM/Sig Mejdal. CorporateM (Talk) 02:26, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Updates
I noticed there is a flood of recent news articles mentioning Sig Mejdal. I suggest the following additions/updates:


 * Right after the phrase: "In 2005, Sig Mejdal was recruited to do sabermetrics for the St. Louis Cardinals' new analytics department.[12]" I suggest adding a newly published sources as follows: "He took 22 months of data from college baseball games and ran it through an algorithm to determine the likely performance and stats baseball players would achieve. "
 * At the very end of the article, I suggest something like "In 2015, Mejdal was one of the team's advisers whose login credentials are believed to have been used to hack into the team's database. "
