Why Moneyball Doesn't Work: See the Anti-Moneyball San Francisco Giants

You should have read that article, dumb fuck, it makes my point.

Here's an excerpt:

“He’s [Yeshayah Goldfarb] one of our ‘Moneyball’ guys, if you will,” Giants president Larry Baer said last week, alluding to the process of finding valuable players that other teams might overlook. “He does a lot of our really important analysis on player acquisitions.”

You are a hilarious joke personified.

Did you really link to a site that trashes Jenkins' trolling? Also, I see AN still annoys me in 2013 too.

i never said they don't use it.. I said they are one of the teams that use it the least... which please show me where I am wrong.. I am pretty sure @There is A Moose at 3rd agrees with me.

Here's more about "one of" the "moneyball" guys that the Giants don't have. . .

Nothing cracks me up more how guys like @SlinkyRedfoot would rather argue semantics than have a real discussion.. more concerned about winning the debate via a Ted Cruz like technicality than to actually engage in meaningful discussion.

I swear to god da55bums and slinkyredfoot are made for each other. You two can't have a discussion without trying to prove the other person is wrong even if how you claim they are wrong is by minor details.

i never said they don't have them idiot... I said out of all the MLB.. they worry about sabermetrics less.

 

[MiamiVice]

Seriously.. keep posting more shit proving something I didn't even say.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Not sure how truly accurate this is, but it is interesting to look at. May be outdated some.

I'm hoping the Indians can surprise some people this year. And I thought for sure the Rockies would have been last.

the rockies have some interesting young guys...

I was kinda bummed out when they sent Tulo to Toronto last year. When healthy I liked watching him play. Can't blame him for wanting to get the hell outta here though.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

i never said they don't use it..

With this notable exception that happened this morning:

I wouldn't really pretend every organization is as equally devoted to sabermetrics as say Oakland or Houston.

The Giants do pretty well without it I guess.

They were smart to get rid of him though.. he isn't young anymore and they were not going to compete in his prime years... Don't know why they brought on Reyes though...

That's what "The Giants do pretty well without it" means?

 

[MiamiVice]

With this notable exception that happened this morning:

jesus christ man... i feel bad for your family that has to put up with you.

 

[MiamiVice]

That's what "The Giants do pretty well without it" means?

maybe I should have worded it better for you...

The Giants do pretty well without using it as much as most teams... better?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

jesus christ man... i feel bad for your family that has to put up with you.

Hahaha. Yes they've got it really hard because I expect people to say what they mean and mean what they say.

Yeah I can't argue w/ that. He's missed alotta games during his career. 2 of the previous 4 years he's only played in double digit games.

 

[MiamiVice]

I was hoping to hear more made up shit from bums this morning about his fantasy about me sending him pictures of his house..

the funny thing.. if handicappers really was dr phil... there is a very good chance he was the one that was sending him pics and talking about fighting him...

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

It's not "wording it better" for me. It's called expressing what you're thinking effectively.

The two sentences you wrote have different meanings.

 

[MiamiVice]

Hahaha. Yes they've got it really hard because I expect people to say what they mean and mean what they say.

great... lets move along then.
