DiamondView

Just heard of the Indians’ proprietary DiamondView system (hat tip to Will Carroll).  The article is from 2003 but it’s really cool to read about the team’s huge confidential database.  There’s quite a bit of info concerning the Jim Thome situation, where the Indians would’ve loved to keep him but going to six years just couldn’t work.  Four years later, it’s clear they made the right decision.
