Over at Athletics Nation they have a three part interview with A's GM and Sabermetrics trailblazer, Billy Beane. Reading this interview absolutely killed me. Almost everyone of his tenets, rules, philosophies on how to run a competitive team run almost entirely counter to the espoused ideas the Mariners management uses to run it's franchise.
There are too many to even list, if I did try to list them all I could write 15,000 words on point by point how the team ideas differ and then show how it relates to the fates and records of these ball clubs. But I will leave it to you dear reader to read and make your own observations as you read through this very enlightening interview with Billy Beane.
