Why would the Red Sox have hired Billy without Peter??
Peter was the brains behind the whole thing! Billy just got all the credit. Hiring Billy away from Oakland without also hiring Peter would've been disastrous.
shareBeane learned enough from Brand/DePodesta to implement the system in Boston....plus, as we see now in MLB, big pockets will fix the few things the system misses, provided the gm doesn’t go apeshyt because he has an owner who’ll spend...
Brand/DePodesta got the dodger job for a spell...I think he now works for the Cleveland Browns...
