Billy Beane

Billy Beane has a solid foundation in how he evaluates talent, but sometimes he loses sight of how to scout a can't miss prospect. As a player, he was a can't miss prospect, so I think he tries to get away from those since he was a complete bust. That being said, sometimes there are guys who simply cannot be passed on, and he needs to be able to change how he drafts at least a little bit. The A's have not been doing so hot as of late, so maybe its time to step back and ask himself if what he is doing is really right. In Moneyball, it talks about how he can't actually sit and watch an A's game in its entirety. This alone, shows that he is a little bit off his rocker. If he can keep what he has been doing, but tweak it to make exceptions for prospects who might give the A's a little star power (and hitting power), he could turn the franchise around again.
