[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 925908, member: 6459"] Andrew Friedman was in Tampa and then was told “keep up all the smart work, but now have a giant bag of cash to play with”. Whether or not you want to say analytics + smarts stops being “moneyball” if you add in money, or if it’s the “smart” part that makes it moneyball, eh, I don’t care that much. We can just call the Dodgers “smart money” if you prefer. But overall you’re conflating randomness with the need (or lack there of) for resources. Improving your probability of success is all you can do. Especially in baseball where a 75% win rate is record setting vs “fairly normal” like in football. To improve it as much as possible you need both resources and approach - that’s why the Dodgers have outclassed the Yankees over the last decade. They have the approach too. [/QUOTE]
