The goal of the As is to win a title. How many do they have in that time span?

How much better have they been than if they had been run traditionally?

That's the real question.

You're treating Moneyball as an alternative to doing it the traditional way. Don't do that. That's not the point of Moneyball.

No, the Marlins aren't the only team to use Moneyball to win a title. If you think that's true you aren't really paying attention to baseball.

If your not the champion at the end.of.the season, you obviously didn't get that much better.

what's funny about the a's the last time they won the w/s in 89 they had the 5th highest payroll in baseball

5 Oakland Athletics $17,572,999

Player Salaries Increased 13% in 1989 Season : Baseball: The average goes from $430,000 to $488,000 with the Dodgers still having the second-highest payroll. - Los Angeles Times

I don't have that much time.

But basically, it's about finding and exploiting market inefficiencies. Maximizing value. Finding talent and value where others didn't. Etc.

But most every team uses this now...well most. The Phillies seem proud to be one of the few remaining pillars of old-time.

The goal is to simply be acceptable and I get that. But if you're a fan of one of those teams that's always on the cusp but can't seem to break thru, you start to get irritated. It's a flawed concept in terms of actually winning championships becuz there aren't too many, if any at all, examples that show that this way wins you the big one.


So what exactly is your team in it for? To be competitive or to win a championship.

And didn't they win a championship in the past 5 yrs using this concept.

You. Are. An. Idiot.

There is nothing about sabermetrics, moneyball, advanced analytics, or whatever the fukk you want to call it, that makes a team that uses/focuses on them LESS LIKELY to win a title.

fukking idiots all over this thread.
