i think the first, most obvious, and truest thing to say is: congratulations Tom! i had suspected something like this may eventually be in the works for him, and i see no reason why it shouldn't be--why should a great baseball/sabermetric mind be used only on a speculative endeavor? why not employ it as part of a real-life, high-profile franchise? i can only imagine it's a dream come true for him. my hat's off, i can't think of anyone more deserving. and i don't think DMB will suffer. even if there's never a version 10, this game can be played as is ad infinitum.
