The trading desk

Article Abstract:

Beane, whose inability to assimilate failure cost him his career as a player, has become perhaps the shrewdest general manager in baseball. His team, the Oakland Athletics, play in a small market and have less money to spend on talent than most teams. Beane, nevertheless, has routinely exploited his system of evaluating players to get the better end of trades, making the Athletics one of the most successful teams in the Major Leagues.
