In hiring Paul DePodesta, the Colorado Rockies did two things. First, they pulled of the coup of the offseason. Second, they got someone who knows who to turn small market baseball teams into big-time winners.

The Browns officially announced Paul DePodesta's departure from the organization on Friday, after reports emerged on Thursday that the chief strategy officer was being hired by MLB's Colorado Rockies.

According to Bacon’s cohost and the senior Browns analyst at the OBR, Fred Greetham, that’s likely the correct assessment to make. Nevertheless, he, along with the bulk of the fan base, believe that it’s time to “ blow up the analytics department .”
