Inside a trade (and a FIP sighting)

By Tangotiger, 09:38 AM

DePodesta(*) references FIP in his blog as he explains their decision-making process in a trade.

(*)"The A’s are looking at your research.” That’s what was told to me circa Aug, 2002, by Michael Lewis. It was pretty cool. I guess it was DePodesta.

Hat tip: Bob.
