Moneyball is more about how to evaluate talent and predict future performance, which is how the A's achieve Yankees level success on a Brewers level payroll. It's about finding bargains by identifying inefficencies in the market. It is also about not allowing yourself to be handcuffed by conventional "wisdom".
