It’s about getting things down to one number … we’ll find the value of players that nobody else can see. People are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that. Billy, of the 20,000 knowable players for us to consider, I believe that there’s a championship team of 25 people that we can afford. Because everyone else in baseball undervalues them. Like an island of misfit toys.
Peter Brand (played by Jonah Hill); Moneyball (2011).
