Highly recommend Moneyball

4. right....I see it as successful in a perfect world where

nothing changes. No one's OBP ever starts a permanent decline. No new pitchers join the mix.
No one gets hurt. Factors that cause mutation. And, you can't keep restaffing every day -
there's a natural need to put in the hours/games a a team. You are always going to have
days when your players are having those down times when they aren't achieving
their avg OBP. If the majority doesn't, you lose.

All that said, I love baseball and thought the whole idea was very thought provoking.
