Replying to comments made by Trot (don't know how to quote)
1. Tejada was undrafted, Chavez did come out of H.S. but wasn't drafted by Beane
2. All 3 of the Big 3 were drafted by Beane. Zito was a reach according to most scouts.
3. In Game 1 of the ALDS, Hernandez clearly bunted for a base hit (there were 2 outs in the inning.
So moneyball isn't all bad, consdering the fact the A's have a 40 million dollar payroll, I think Beane is doing a good job.
