Jeff Greenberg Named New Tigers GM
Re: Jeff Greenberg Named New Tigers GM
This made me wonder why he left baseball to work for the Blackhawks. This article provides some kind of answer:

It looks like he was hired by the Blackhawks for his general technical skills. Maybe he got everything set up, mission accomplished, and he's moving back to baseball.Greenberg will be tasked with building out new computer and app-based systems that will streamline information for the organization -- a journey he had a front-row seat to with the Cubs. Davidson said ultimately, the team will have all its information centralized and "at the tip of our fingertips" which "will cut down on things like unnecessary calls."

A nice Jewish boy! And hired during the ten days of Teshuvah! Oy Vey!

Re: Jeff Greenberg Named New Tigers GM
I assume he will be GM in name only. Not preforming the role of a traditional GM with final say on trades, signings, and the draft. Scott Harris will preform that role in that fairly new created position of President of baseball operations. A lot of clubs lately have structured things this way, making the role of GM less powerful and more of a glorified assistant GM. Nevertheless, congrats and best of luck to Greenberg, I hope he helps them to become more competitive.

What information do they want to 'streamline'? Do they want to modernize their 'analytics' department? What are they going to do with the information that they 'streamline'?
