Greetings!   

Spring Training.....Only Learner/Researchers need apply.

It's that time of year again.  For those of us who are addicted to the All-American Game of Baseball, pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training next week.  And whether your team won the World Series (congrats to my San Francisco friends) or repeated their Knower/Judger rule of being the perennial pariah (nods to my Chicago Cubs fans), hope springs eternal.

Baseball (the game, not the profession) is a very Learner/Researcher institution.  It is where judgment is deferred to preparation and performance.  It's not what we THINK will happen (as most sports journalists would have us believe).  It's what actually (and factually) happens on the field 162 times a year for each of the 30 Major League teams.

Yet we seem to set data aside and just KNOW that this is the year.  This is the breakout season for our boys.  We watch every trade and contract rumor (by the time this is published we'll know more about the future of Mr. Pujols in a Cardinals jersey....or we won't).  We scan the papers for stats on all the kids at Spring Training from the minor leagues.  And they work on their processes to improve their results.

But as the season unwinds, we'll see the pitcher with the bad body language....or the manager kicking dirt at the umpire....or the whining speedster thrown out at third.  Clearly all Knower/Judgers in a game meant to be enjoyed at the Learner/Researcher level.
