Billy Beane Answer

I think Billy Beane could be wrong about putting stats ahead of pretty much everything. I think a player with a decent amount of talent, and a lot of potential is a better prospect with a player that has little potential, but a far superior amount of talent on the field. Another thing Billy is wrong with is, letting his scouts choose which players that should be drafted. In the book, they mention that the scouts top picks had all been drafted before it got to their turn. So overall, Billy Beane's choices are not the best choices for this organization. I think looking for more potential and having more room to improve for a player is a lot more successful than a player with a great amount of skill and no room for change.
