Matt Welch has a look back at the whole Moneyball saga and throws in a few nice shots at Griffin and Baker.
There are not enough good writers like this writing about baseball, it's always a refreshing change to read something like this. Welch is a long standing Bill James reader and demonstrates a faultless grasp of sabermetrics while giving the Griffins and Morgans of the world a good 'fisking'.
I particularly like the implication that the Moneyball fall-out has seen an over-focus on OBP at the expense of the rest of the sabermetric manifesto:
Sabermetrics at heart is about analytical thinking, not one particular statistical category. Perhaps the most significant organizational change the A’s have implemented over the years is a scientific physical program to prevent what the stat geeks have long identified as a crucial problem: arm injuries to pitchers
His suggestion in conclusion that the A's have abandoned the cult of OBP just as everybody else is discovering it and are now already moving toward a new age of speedy glovemen might be a little overdrawn, but, this is the best peice of writing about baseball I've read for some time.
