Moneyball Fans -- New Book

[BronXBombers51]

I was searching around for new books and came across "Mind Game" which is on display on the homepage of BaseballProspectus.com. It's about the Red Sox and their process of building their World Series winning team. It sounds alot like Moneyball. Here's a description:

The Red Sox finally did it. By making decisions that other clubs would not have made and using talent that other clubs ignored or lacked the statistical understanding to perceive, the new, focused Red Sox management built a championship team that overcame 86 years of baseball history. And along the way, argue the writers of Mind Game, created a blueprint for winning baseball.

It's supposed to be released late August...

Should be an interesting read, anyway.

Same here. Anything to make a buck, boy.

I think the book is more about the players they got from other teams that organizations had given up on. Muellar, Millar, Bellhorn, etc. They've always had a larger than average payroll, but why was last year different. Atleast, thats what I think it'll be about.

I can't wait for it. I need something to read while I'm taking my morning squat. This of course will be used to clean myself after that squat while I read the Daily News.
