In our second episode, we explore the use of advanced statistics (sabermetrics) in baseball, made popular by Michael Lewis's novel Moneyball, and how they were utilized by the Oakland Athletics to remain competitive despite having a significantly smaller payroll than other teams in the MLB. Tune in for an analysis of general manager Billy Beane's free agent strategy and how he found statistics that were undervalued in the player market. Thank you for listening, hope you enjoy!
