Billy Beane

I honestly believe that Billy Beane is a genius at certain times. When he first discovered the importance of OB% and SLG%, he was a genius. But at the time he was crazy for countering the traditional thought of drafting. However now as we look back on this time through Moneyball, we see that he truely was a genius and discovered something that no other Baseball club had. But again, as times have changed and many of the small market clubs change their philosophy on drafting to one that is similar to Billy Beane's, he goes back to being an angry lunatic. But once again when he finds that key stat that will help his club win games, he will be crazy and then a genius when everybody catches on. It is simply like a cycle of Billy Beane's genuineness and insanity.
