lol.
If you are genuinely wondering, moneyball is a method of building a professional baseball team that was pioneered by Oakland A's GM Billy Beane. Basically the entire method relies on finding the cheapest undervalued players that can get on base.
The result was that the A's fielded a competitive roster that managed to go to several straight postseasons, but did so on nearly 50% less salary than similarly performing teams. Unfortunately, the A's never won it all and lost several heartbreakers.
