The central premise of Moneyball is that the collected wisdom of baseball insiders (including players, managers, coaches, scouts, and the front office) over the past century is subjective and often flawed. Statistics such as stolen bases, runs batted in, and batting average, typically used to gauge players, are relics of a 19th century view of the game and the statistics that were available at the time. The book argues that the Oakland A's' front office took advantage of more empirical gauges of player performance to field a team that could compete successfully against richer competitors in Major League Baseball.

Moneyball - Michael Lewis 🇺🇸

“The human mind played tricks on itself when it relied exclusively on what it saw, and every trick it played was a financial opportunity for someone who saw through the illusion to the reality. There was a lot you couldn't see when you watched a baseball game.”

. Um livro cheio de insights, mas bastante denso. Recomendo somente para quem gosta ou conhece de Baseball dado o número de estatísticas e referências. Para quem se interessa pelo lado técnico da utilização de dados para tomada de decisão em detrimento de feelings ou percepções, sugiro assistir ao ótimo filme estrelado por Brad Pitt que traz os conceitos de forma mais palatável e sem tanta dependência do conhecimento do jogo.
