Title: This is what happens when you question assumptions
Review: More than baseball, Moneyball is about questioning assumptions - challenging everything you know to be true about your situation and asking yourself if maybe it "ain't necessarily so." How did Billy Beane and the Oakland A's achieve so many wins with such a limited budget?1. They questioned assumptions (about the valuation of players).2. They determined that various time-honored metrics metrics (for determining a player's value or worth) did not hold up under scrutiny.3. Because no one ELSE did 1 and 2, they were able to invest their limited resources on players who were clearly undervalued.What happens when you question assumptions? You often arrive at winning solutions! Discussed in detail (along with other great examples) in:Shake That Brain: How to Create Winning Solutions and Have Fun While You're At It
