Moneyball Synopsis
Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game is an exploration of the rigorous baseball statistical analysis and salary management methods employed by Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane. Beane is noted for his ability to keep the Athletics franchise competitive in Major League Baseball despite financial limitations. Beane credits his unbiased use of sabermetrics rather than the use of traditional baseball statistics to determine a player's value to a team. In the book, Beane explains his methodology and tactics he uses to build a successful franchise. He also breaks down and analyzes several players in the league. Using his computer generated statistics he uncovers under-rated and overlooked talent.wwnorton.com: Moneyball by Michael Lewis -

According to Moneyball, we should all worship Scott Hatteberg. Right. I'll get right on that.
