Good story about behind the scenes of a baseball team

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2012)

This is a good movie if you want to know what it takes to put together a baseball team without having the advantage of having a big budget to spend on whatever you like to. Breaking down the stats of players to see which players you can get cheap but still have a lot of value. The analytic evaluation of players. Going deeper into the stats then just simply using the old batting average, home runs and runs batted in stats. Billy Beane played by Brad Pitt and Peter Brand played by Jonah Hill(Paul DePodesta in real life) are the guys behind this movement in baseball. This movie one of the main players they focused on was Scott Hatteberg who they converted from a Catcher to First Base since he couldn't throw that well anymore since he was injured, but they still thought his On Base Percentage stats would be a good addition to the team.
