Billy Beane, general manager of MLB's Oakland A's and protagonist of Michael Lewis's Moneyball, had a problem: how to win in the Major Leagues with a budget that's smaller than that of nearly every other team. Conventional wisdom long held that big name, highly athletic hitters and young pitchers with rocket arms were the ticket to success. But Beane and his staff, buoyed by massive amounts of carefully interpreted statistical data, believed that wins could be had by more affordable methods such as hitters with high on-base percentage and pitchers who get lots of ground outs. Given this information and a tight budget, Beane defied tradition and his own scouting department to build winning teams of young affordable players and inexpensive castoff veterans.
Lewis was in the room with the A's top management as they spent the summer of 2002 adding and subtracting players and he provides outstanding play-by-play. In the June player draft, Beane acquired nearly every prospect he coveted (few of whom were coveted by other teams) and at the July trading deadline he engaged in a tense battle of nerves to acquire a lefty reliever. Besides being one of the most insider accounts ever written about baseball, Moneyball is populated with fascinating characters. We meet Jeremy Brown, an overweight college catcher who most teams project to be a 15th round draft pick (Beane takes him in the first). Sidearm pitcher Chad Bradford is plucked from the White Sox triple-A club to be a key set-up man and catcher Scott Hatteberg is rebuilt as a first baseman. But the most interesting character is Beane himself. A speedy athletic can't-miss prospect who somehow missed, Beane reinvents himself as a front-office guru, relying on players completely unlike, say, Billy Beane. Lewis, one of the top nonfiction writers of his era (Liar's Poker, The New New Thing), offers highly accessible explanations of baseball stats and his roadmap of Beane's economic approach makes Moneyball an appealing reading experience for business people and sports fans alike.

唬唬不怎么懂棒球的人还有点用。。但实际的棒球运作没有刘易斯说得那么简单。Billy Beane怎么可能让刘易斯把自己成功的秘诀全部公之于众呢。。

值得每位职业体育爱好者阅读

如果不是讲predictive analytics,实在是听不下去,对棒球实在无爱。但是prediction牛逼。在某保险公司找工广告上面看见hiring manager(没弄错的话是MIT sloan的运筹女博士)写的,跟freakonomics, super crunchers并列的。另外两本都看过了,所以也把这本看了。的确是这个领域从业人员需要看看的呵呵。

跟同名电影相去甚远。对棒球理解太浅薄,很多东西还不能理解;SB的朗读一贯地单调,唯一的优点就是吐字清楚,现在完全可以由AI取代。

确实低估了原著难度,看到最后两章还是找出中文译本,翻译还是很不错的。

我们关注的指标与最终目标间的相关性有多大?Conventional wisdom是否经得起数据的检验?即使不了解棒球(我)也非常值得一读。
