I always thought that book was overrated. Billy Beane always said how the playoffs were a crapshoot, but when other teams had success in the postseason and his didn't, it wasn't just bad luck. Then at the end, when it looked like he was going to go to Boston, the moves he wanted to make would have broken up the core of a team that two years later won the World Series.
