Boston Moneyball

The Boston Red Sox hired Bill James in their front office.

This is strong evidence that the team is managing or decision making in accordance with sabermetric or "moneyball" principles.

I do, however, that the team seems divided, making some smart moves, and some traditional old baseball moves.

    I watched this the other day. Bill James I believe understates his value, but it is hard to tell how much he is involved with.

    Warning. A lot less Bill James than their should be.
