Correct. I don't like Bissinger at all, but the article isn't that terrible. He gets what Moneyball was about, as he says right here: His basic point is that people have caught up with Beane, and he's having a harder time finding inefficiencies to exploit, so he's not winning as much. He's right, since the A's haven't been very good for a while now (averaging 81 wins over the last five years). There's dumb stuff in the article, like his brief passage about DePodesta, but I don't think it's as bad as people are making it seem.
