Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1777830, member: 289"] Moneyball wasn't even Beane's idea- it was Alderson's. But you can't tell that from the movie. Wright was actually hot when he got hurt again- 3 home runs in 3 games. The bad line-up would seem to be temporary. I think Loney is a good pick-up. The other guys will be back. I do agree that the Mets are far too dependent on the home run. The fences may ahve been moved in at Citi but it was built to be a pitcher's park. You need to be able to manufacture runs when you aren't hitting it over the fence. I had hoped that they would have locked at the Royals and decided they need to do some of the things they were doing but i guess they ignored that. [/QUOTE]
