Bing Devine Sighting
« Back In The Saddle | Main | I'm a sucker for these sorts of things »Bing Devine showed up for an interview at Viva El Birdos.
Among other things, they discuss Beane Ball a.k.a. Moneyball, which in my humble opinion is nothing more than Branch Rickey Ball. They also discuss Walt Jocketty, and Devine makes it pretty clear there's more to GM-ing than simple talent evaluation.

Good article. Mr. Devine spoke at the SABR Hot Stove Luncheon at Shannon's this past January, and he was an interesting counterpoint to the Cardinals' Jeff Luhnow, who also spoke. I remember Mr. Devine talking about the way they evaluated players, and that speed around the bases was key.
