This year's "case," developed by SABR President Vince Gennaro, was called "The Mike Trout Dillemma." Students were asked to advise Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim GM Jerry Dipoto on their strategy for maximizing the value of their prized asset, Mike Trout.
本年度的Case，由SABR的總裁Vince Gennaro出題，命名為「Mike Trout兩難」。學生們被要求向洛杉磯天使隊總管Jerry Dipoto提出如何將珍貴的資產-Mike Trout價值最大化之策略。

"These 11 schools processed the information and came up with some very innovative solutions," Gennaro said. "They did some fascinating work. I think everyone who participated did so at a high level, which made it difficult for the judges to choose a winner."
「這十一支隊伍分析資訊後提出某些非常創新的解決方案。」Gennaro說道。「他們完成了一些了不起的任務。我認為每位參賽者的水平都相當高，這也使得評審非常難以抉擇贏家。」

In the Diamond Dollars Case Competition, undergraduate, graduate and professional school students from colleges and universities across the country compete against each other by preparing an analysis and presentation of a baseball operations decision — the type of decision a team’s GM and his staff is faced with over the course of a season. The cases are developed by SABR President Vince Gennaro, author of Diamond Dollars: The Economics of Winning in Baseball, and consultant to MLB teams. The Diamond Dollars Case Competition is the first national competition to be based solely on baseball operations issues.
