moneyball

A term for when something good happens basically meaning good

Moneyball is a term describing baseball operations in which a team endeavors to analyze the market for baseball players and buy what is undervalued and sell what is overvalued. Unlike a common misconception, it is not about OBP, but whatever is undervalued at that time. It is most commonly used to refer to the strategy used by the front office of the Oakland Athletics. It derives its name from a Michael Lewis book of the same name.

When you do something extremely unbelievable you say .. MONEYBALL !!

A term used for any baseball team that operates on Statistics alone, wether it leads them in the right direction or the wrong direction. Usually used by teams with an average payroll.

A book written by Billy Beane, er, Michael Lewis about the 2002 Oakland A's and their quest to reach the playoffs. It discounts some baseball fallacies (i.e. a player can be judged by physical talent alone) and explores the methods of rating players. Thus, teams with little money (such as the A's) can find out who the best available players are and acquire them.

Fine, Cute asl
