The Secret Cult of Royals Sabremetricianry

The famous "Two Sabremetricians" line from GMDM has taken on a life of its own, so I wanted to contribute some sleuthwork from a Royals insider who is also a good friend. First, if you're reading this you have probably also read speculative namings of the mysterious Royals sabremetricians. Those guesses are wrong. In fact, the Two Wizards aren't really on the staff, but instead are part-time outside consultants, I was told. Who are they? That's what I wanted to know too. "I can't tell you, but they are both highly regarded," was what I got for an answer. I pressed my source: "I can't divulge their names," I was told before being reminded of how really really well regarded they are, leading me to wonder why so much secrecy, but there you have it.

I know and appreciate that many of you on this site are wary of unnamed sources (you would get a kick out of this one) but there's really no way I can reveal that without risking peoples' jobs (Secrecy is Priority #1 at Glass Industries!) Ultimately the questions of who are The Two and who is being protected by keeping their names secret hardly even beg for answers. After all, does any of that matter when no one in the front office is listening to them anyway?
