Here's the situation, from the record. Before the 2002 season, the Oakland Athletics lost three key players to free agency: Jason Giambi to the New York Yankees, Johnny Damon to the Boston Red Sox, and closer Jason Isringhausen to the St. Louis Cardinals. With far less money than the richest teams, Oakland could not replace them by paying for similar players. If you couldn't compete by doing what the wealthier teams had always done, what do you think would be the most important thing to figure out?
What question were the A's asking?
What were others measuring instead?
What did the scouts' experience see that the numbers didn't, and vice versa?
