Wow, two baseball entries in one day. This must be some sort of record.

Chris D just passed on this link to The Trading Text, an excerpt from Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.

It is a great piece about the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A’s. Fascinating stuff.

I wonder if articles like these will make it impossible for him to do trades in the future. I sure as hell hope the Yankees never pick up the phone when he calls.
