<p>Moneyball was a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210166/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">movie</a>, a <a href="http://a.co/cYZrnWh" rel="nofollow noreferrer">book</a>, and a statistical revolution in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabermetrics" rel="nofollow noreferrer">sabermetrics</a>.</p>

<p>If I wanted to ask a question like the following, which forum is best for it? Would it be on topic on CV?  </p>

<p><strong>Background:</strong>    </p>

<p>I heard a manager refer to an employee as a "utility player" in the pre-moneyball sense.  That means that the employee "[has] a wide breadth of skills and can work across many org's and disciplines", so it is quite a compliment.  </p>

<p>Moneyball discarded the notion of a "utility player", and has much more strongly mathematically/statistically defined nomenclatures such as "slugging percentage" and "on-base percentage" (<a href="http://thesportjournal.org/article/an-examination-of-the-moneyball-theory-a-baseball-statistical-analysis/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ref</a>).    </p>

<p><strong>Questions:</strong>    </p>

<ol>
<li><p>What is the post-moneyball meaning of or analog to a "utility player"?  </p></li>
<li><p>If there is meaning, then how is a player identified as the new utility?  </p></li>
<li><p>Are there post-moneyball SBR-metric metaphors that are viable for abstraction to team composition outside of baseball?</p></li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Update:</strong><br>
asked in Sports meta, they say try it.  Asked in Sports.  Will let you know how it goes.  Thank you for direction</p>
