“Guys, you’re still trying to replace Giambi. I told you, we can’t do it. We can’t do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him; recreate him in the aggregate.” If you don’t immediately recognize those words from Moneyball , you’ve got some homework to do this weekend. But regardless of whether or not you’ve read the book/seen the movie, that may have sounded oddly familiar to you.

They say you learn more from losses than you do wins, or something like that. 29 of 30 teams end the season without hoisting a trophy, and therefore walk away more educated than the World Series Champion. While I can’t help Jarren Duran learn to catch better or Connor Wong to hit home runs, I […]
