Reply to "Moneyball/Sabermetrics"

Cball,

The “moneyball” approach was proved to be successful statistically when viewed over a large sample of games, ie the whole season. Bunting a player to get him into scoring position (and giving up an out) is statistically a improper play when viewed over a large sample, however when trying to manage within a short series or a single game it has been proven that the moneyball approach may not be the best approach. That was one of the lessons learned from the A’s, that you can build a team for a whole season but that team may not be the best one to win a short series.
