Here's another fantasy: Moneyball, the book, is somehow a sabremetrics bible. Moneyball is a book about Billy Beane and how he takes advantage of inequities in the baseball marketplace. It was written by Michael Lewis -- not Beane (like Joe Morgan seems to think).

The point is, you're better off taking a pudgy guy with average speed who has great strikezone recognition than an athletic guy with great speed who is a free swinger and strikes out a ton. The downfall of some scouts is that they'll draft the speedy guy instead of the pudgy guy, thinking they can teach him plate discipline.

Nobody is saying we don't need scouts. Nobody, nobody, nobody.

And nobody is saying tools are bad. Whoever said that?
