Bloomberg’s player-evaluations a match for the Mets? [Quote]

Bloomberg L.P. will be entering the player-evaluation market for baseball on Monday.  And guess who’s interested…

For Jeff Wilpon, the chief operating officer of the Mets, the value in the software will be in evaluating free agents.

“If you take X player on another team who’s around a great cast of players,” he said, “we want to look at him in our ballpark with different players around him to see how he will fit in.”

This makes me happy.

Can they have the software shipped to Indianapolis for the start of the winter meetings tomorrow?  I’ll personally install whatever needs to be installed onto Omar Minaya’s computer.
